Can't wait to see how DG finagles his way through this.

Here's the updated free agent list from all the teams and it seems we aren't the only ones with 20 players out of contract.

dallas lol

 

But it's worth the money to keep the team an annual playoff contender.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(a team that almost reaches the playoffs can be called a "playoff contender", right?)

Oakland needs a couple of RBs pretty bad in my oponion.

 

Will see if I can think of a couple

About comments concerning the number of free agents we have:

 

There are 2 ways to look at that---first, you get out of some contracts and have the opportunity to upgrade.  Of the 21 free agents we have, I am guessing we re-sign about 9 or so.  The downside is you are losing 21 players from a 12-4 team--but how many parts are not replacable?  We will probably retain six of the front 7 and sign our QB.  What part of the rest is not upgradeable?

 

If we had 10 free agents and about 45 escalating contracts, we could be in a worse situation.

 

I think Gettlemen did a hell of a job in the undrafted free agent market last year--Lester, Horton, and White played regularly.  We are not used to that kind of bottom feeding here.  Those are cheap contracts.

Watch the Colts get Hardy.  They should be a pre-season favorite if they use their cap space right

[Fan01]

Everyone will hate to hear this but I can see them keeping Godfrey if he's recovered from his injury.  He's getting 5 million next year if he stays or if he goes.  If he stays add 2 million to that and if he goes we save 2 million in cap space.  

 

We're probably not resigning Quintin and 2 million is a little bit below the average starting safety in the NFL.  Even if you're good with Lester (which I'm not) you'll still need another body which will cost us so why not just keep C-God.  He's not as horrible as everyone says.  Would you rather have Nakamura back?

 

I don't see how they can afford to keep the Kracken but I'm hoping Gettlemen can do some type of sign and trade.

[Fan01]

Dang, I'm not even sure the Cowboys will be able to field an entire team next year.

 

I love it.

[ladypanther]

Saints are well into the red to....lol.

 

Wondering...how are the Broncos better off than we are and paying Manning???????

[pantherj]

Raiders  50  $128,732,661

 $61,556,390

 

Hey Raiders you want Stewart? He's due for a healthy season... sooner or later.

[neverlosethefeeling]

Has a conclusion been reached re: whether or not we can/will rollover the cap savings from the 2013 season? If so, that could be an additional 15-17mil we're not accounting for.

I was looking at this too today, and I'm in agreement with you. I like our situation with him. The reason so many people write him of, me included, is because he really is the easiest to cut, we have proven we can win without him and he provides the biggest savings. I still want to re-sign Mitchell. That would be a great safety duo.
