Raiders: $7.4 million over.

Cardinals: $16.4 million over.

There you go. We're officially 5.3m over. That's really not that bad. All we need to do is restructure Thomas Davis and one other, and we'll be good.

$5m is not bad at all.

We can restructure few contracts, sign Smitty and Gamble to a new deals and we will be $20m under.

Can I say Super Man Mario Williams????? That would be sick if we could get him, I forget where I seen it, but I read an article about Mario saying he wouldn't mind playing for us.

How the fug can a team completely purged during the 2010 NFL season going 2-14, finish 6-10 during the 2011 season be in a worse Cap situation than the Super Bowl Champion Giants? The Giants opponents in the Super Bowl with an extremely well paid QB are 16 million plus under the cap.

The Panthers are also the same team to be the first to enjoy a post Rookie Cap #1 pick.

I wonder how the Cardinals talk with Manning went.

"So you guys have plenty of room to sign me, Wayne, and Clark right?"

"Uhhh yeah, totally"

*throws team financial records out a nearby window*

Cap room can be super manipulated. Someone who projected to make $15m in 2012 can be signed on new contract. You can give em signing bonus of $8, make em count $5 million against the cap and install lots of easy achievable incentives which can increase this base $5 to $10 millions. So this player only accounted $5m against cap but end up earning $18m. Win - Win for the team and a player.

The cap space figures we posted are based on the base cap of $120.6 plus any carryover, adjustments, franchise tenders, RFA tenders.

That does include the savings from last year.

Because it's the nfl salary cap, and it's all pretty fungible.

Giants barely squeaked into the playoffs (leave it to chance), and they have not really signed any big names, or even their own guys.

The Pat's, most top tier FA looking for a ring would take a ridiculous pay cut to play in hopes of winning a SB with them, but fail to realize Pats are 3-0 during spy gate, and 0-2 after.

IMO,

    • I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.
    • It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!
    • I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
