Cap space and updated review of all offseason moves.

[panther4life]

Jesus titty fuging Christ. Only 51 contracts count against the cap at any point in time, if we were allowed to sign 158797823498 players in an offseason, only the top 51 contracts would ever count against the cap. Before this recent round of cuts teams were allowed to have 90 players, that means that ALMOST 40 PLAYERS DIDNT" COUNT AGAINST THE CAP. So anytime ANYONE was signed during this period, the player that represented the 51st VALUED contract was pushed off the books to be replaced by whomever we signed who represented a higher cap value. 

 

Let me tell you what you're doing, you're looking at it like our cap value before any adjustments was only calculated for 34 players. We've added 17 contracts this offseason via free agency and the draft: IE 51 minus 17 = 34. The reason I say this is because you're adding the total cap hit value of these 17 new contracts to the already existing cap hit. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED. We added 17 contracts to a cap figure that already was counting 51 players!!!! So now you're going to tell me that you're going to take that total cap hit for 51 players and add a total value for 17 new contracts to that total and it makes fuging sense in your head? That's 68 contracts dude. SIXTY-EIGHT CONTRACTS. We can only count 51...somethings got to give. Those contracts represent old contracts being replaced with new ones, or actual players replacing new players....they don't exist in a fuging vacuum where you just add the total to the our prior figure willy-nilly. 

 

If we were only allowed 53 players at anyone point, every time we signed someone or redid a contract, it would have to literally replace another contract at THAT exact moment, but it doesn't. In the offseason all it does is push the lowest counted contract off the books. 

Bravo. I get it now. Thank you.

Sorry, Panther4life, but I failed Capology 101 three times before dropping out.  Good question
