This should be decent news for us right? Cap in december was projected for 174
Cap to be around 179 million

Definitely more positive than negative.
It could go higher than $179 million as this hasn't been finalized yet. It will be interesting with all the tv deals done of late where this will finally end up.
While that gives us a little more room, all the other teams that already have way more room than us would then have even more. Lets face it, we're not going to be players in free agency which is ok with me. I'd like to get a couple of decent players thought but even that will be hard

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the cap will at least be $178 million. It also could exceed $179 million.
The specific number, generally driven by revenues in the prior years, ultimately becomes the product of negotiation between the NFL and NFLPA. Last year, the parties set the cap at $168 million.

I'm beginning to agree with you more and more brother, not being big players in FA is fine with me, we need to build through the draft slowly and strategically, get the cap under control.
Look at these cap deals in 2018:
Suh 26.1M
Tannehill 19.8M
Landry 16.2 M
Jones 11.575 M
Branch $10M
Stiils $9.75M
Alonso $9.637M
James $9.41M
Pouncey $9M
Wake $8.6M
Thomas $8.2M
Thomas $6.6M
$145M is tied up to almost 25% of the team. Toss in the injuries and under-achieving, it makes the problem worse. I would hide Tannenbaum's pen

You're right, some of those contracts are overpriced or straight up bad.
So at the moment that would give us about $4.72M in cap space. We are last in the league at -$6.285M. By far the worst team with the least cap space. All the other teams at the bottom are playoff contenders. After expected cuts to Thomas and Timmons we are around $14.8M under the cap. Wow. More work to do.

There's $36 million in funny money cleared from our books if we keep Pouncey, and $43 million if we let him go. And all we've really lost through those moves are a very good slot receiver and a good but injury-prone center whose hips are about to give out.
