Merged: Putting on thinking cap/17 million over the cap

Wow, we're 17 mill over the cap!!who's going?
That's a lot of money to be over the cap. I just read that Ruddy, Marion, Griesse and Mcknight could be going. I think Jay's going too but that's still not enough and we need to take care of Wally too. The way I see it we'll be hard press to get any free agents. Not that we need many as I think we only need a couple as long as we have a good draft. Anybody got any ideas as to what the dolphins will do to get that number down?
Ozzy rules!!

I recommend visiting the Salary Cap Forum for all your answers.

How can Griese be asked to have his salary cut when it is already near the minimum for a vet?
Oh yes.......let's ask Ruddy to accept another pay cut

we won't be able to keep Wally. We'll have to free enough to match an offer to push him to the 1first and 3 rounder tender, but there's no way we could afford what he deserves. plan on losing him. Also T-Bow will take a hefty cut. He allready offered.

Anyone else think it's funny they said Brian has to cut his salary or be cut yet Jay wasn't even mentioned on that list? Tells me he's gone and maybe Brian stays on as a backup if he takes the pay cut.

Re: Putting on thinking cap
All depends on where you read the info and ultimately who you believe. I've seen numbers anywhere form <10 to >17. That is ALOT of difference. Trouble is, they all can't be right. i would likely say that it is somewhere around 14 or even less actually. But keep in mind, that is the figure for only the players under contract [around 40 some] and doesn't include the fA like Ogun, Tbuck, Wade and the like. So in a sense, the over the cap # is a bit misleading in that you have to make enough moves by that figure to just get under the cap to be legal, PLUS enough to be able to do the regular wheeling and dealing. You may as well say you're looking at closer to 20 mil in all actuality tho.

Very true.......getting to cap compliancy isn't too difficult. It's the rest that will be

That's the way I read it too, especially when you consider how overpaid JF is.

Ain't it now. I saw a list the other day [forget where i saw it, here, there, where ever??] showing a list of all teams and their cap #s. biggest surprise to me was the Skins at something like 8 mil under after all the stuff they do.

Those lists need a disclaimer. You need to look at what FAs each team has as well as how many players are already under contract. If a team, as an example, has only 40 players and is $10 million under, much of that will be needed to fill the top 51. Another team could have many key FAs (Colts, Seahawks, 49ers).

When talking about the cap imparitive that you compare the number of players already signed, which for us is 54. By contract, the Ravens who are approxinally 25 million under the cap, only have 34 players signed. Tennesse only has 39 players signed, but is 16 aprx. over the cap.
