I wanted to find a good website that outlined the current players and their contracts so I could decide exactly what is happening with our Cap room.

We have a lot of money tied up in mediocre players. But, I wanted to share this link, I think it helps understand some of what is going on.

On a positive note, we lose a lot of dead weight next year.

First off remember that not every contract counts toward the cap. We will bring in 80 + players into camp but only so many of those count towards the cap, something like the top 53 until final roster cuts are made in August. Secondly, I don't get the worry as if it your money or the FO could restructure or extend more players if they wanted too sign someone else. The cap can be manipulated a number of ways.

Given Smith is a free agent in 2013 I expect to see an extension done in the next several months if not weeks. With that and the Wharton money which kicks in June 1st, and the (3) 500,000 credits we can take for three of the highest salary guys with 5 years experience in 2012, we should have more than enough to sign some guys if we want to do it.

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
