Quick Question....

[Zod]

Anyone care to calculate how much cap space will be tied up on the RB and DE positions this year assuming Hardy gets 13 million?

 

 

[El Chingon]

87 million

[stirs]

Between 35-40?

[2jakefansinva]

I'm guessing 34 Mil

[jasonluckydog]

1 million dollars. ..

[carpanfan96]

46 million. Yes, I looked it up.

[jptaylor84]

Two DEs account for 20% of our cap, you couldn't make this up, especially after getting burnt already with two RBs.

[panther4life]

16.42 For CJ

13 for Hardy

6 for D-will

4.85  Stewart

3.350  Tolbert

687k Alexander

645k Addison

500k  Horton

520k Barner

=46 Million

How much is eleventy billion?

[panther4life]

After Gano's signing and Hardy's franchise tag we should have less than 5 million left in cap space if the 21 million was a true number,

How much is eleventy billion?

One less than eleventy billion and one.

[Captain Obvious]

i'll bid eleventy billion and one Bob. (or Drew if you're not old school)

I have no problem with our DEs taking up 20% of our cap considering how productive they are and just how valuable high end pass rushers are in the modern NFL.  The issue is the running backs... they are simply not a very valuable position, we have a handful of them who are being paid very well and with the exception of our fullback they aren't productive (granted a lot of that is due to the line, Dlo can still make plays when he gets nice holes).

 

Now running backs can be valuable, especially if you have a poor option at QB and one of those truly special backs (Vikings and AP makes sense).  Thing is our running backs are even LESS valuable because our quarterback happens to be incredibly dangerous as a runner.

 

I'm not without hope though, if Stew can truly recover and we can get some nice pieces on the Oline we might actually have a pretty nasty running game which will vastly improve the scheme Shula is running.

Restructure CJ's contract....damn he's killing the cap.  It would really be nice if the Raiders traded for Greg Hardy and Carolina got a first and a third...replace Gross at the top of the draft and grab another pass-rusher in FA with the money left over...
