Current cap space is 6 million...will grow to 8 million on june 2nd

[panther4life]

Reed and Person are both reporting on twitter our current cap space is 8 million... the 2 million from Smiths release not available until June 2nd since we designated him as a june 1st cut.

[Carolina Mike]

Anyone remember where the cap was last year this time?

[TheNewStandard]

Around 4 mil goes to the draft, I think.

Hey huddle!!! Let's make a splash!!!

We have plenty to give Ginn his and Mitchell his and Nicks and Captain and Senn and Verrett and....wait...wut? We have like 4 million to work with?

fug off with the get rid of Hardy nonsense...

[Captain Morgan]

so June 2 we'll  have 10 mill?

[TheNewStandard]

so June 2 we'll have 10 mill?

Don't know if Andersin's re-signing has been added yet. But yeah, around 10 mil.

Might be enough to get Nicks if we want him and sign our draft picks. Not much more than that, though. Not unless we cut Godfrey

[Captain Morgan]

we'll have to cut Godfrey....we sign Nicks and our rookies, we still don't have enough OL and secondary players.

We need so many, even the ones who will only make 5 or 6k might put us over the cap.

 

We need to sign Hardy to a deal that pays him 8 to 10 mill this year, give us an extra 3 to 5 mil in cap space

[csx]

They need to get Hardy under a real contract.

On PFT they are reporting we offered Nicks 4.5 per year and it sounds like he is still looking for a better deal.

 

I would have thought that hardy would have signed a long term deal which could free up some money.

Gettleman keeping Hardy on the FT until after the draft just to have the option of #1 draft picks.

[panther4life]

On March 26th 2013 we re-did Gross' contract and our cap room was reported to be a 7 million after that move. 

 

 

At that point we had signed or re-signed and their cap hits last year

Colin Cole-555k

Florence-620k

Derek Anderson-555k

Ben Harstock-620k

Tedd Ginn-1.1 Million

Mike Mitchell-725k

D.J Moore-555k

Captain-1.1 Million

^^^^^

Those moves accounted for 5.83 Million in cap space

 

We later signed

Dwan Edwards 1.6 Million 2013 cap hit

Chase Blackburn 1 Million cap hit

Domenik Hixon 1.2 Million cap hit

Wharton for a 1.1 Million cap hit

Quinten Mikell $620k cap hit

^^^^

That was another 5.52 Million

 No it will go to 8 million. Right now its 6 million but the cap relief of 2 million from smith will make it 8 millon by June 2nd

[UpstatePanther]

NFLPA says we have just over 8M free at this moment. i guess they havent taken into account Smith's contract yet. these are the numbers the league goes by

That's the same report where Reed and Person got their info from. They claim that number already includes Smiths savings of 2 million.

Thanks p4l

Not gonna be easy clearing up $ for Nicks...

I think Hardy does the contract after the draft, just so we have that exclusive for draft pick leverage in case bad comes to worse and we have to make a move.
