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,

    • Push em to the brink!!! Shut em down Freddie!
    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
