I know there is a salary cap forum but I see tons of people wondering what the Fins cap space is as well as what each players cap hit is because they worry that if we sign Manning we will be in cap hell and unable to sign any other players.
I found this entire breakdown on spotrac.com (Mods feel free to move this but with so many people asking the question I thought I might as well post it in the general forum).

The first column is the base, the second is the signing bonus, the third is other bonuses, and the fourth is their 2012 cap hit.
You can see with the restructing of a few contracts I.E. Dansby and Marshal, the resigning of Long to a new deal, and the jettison of a few players; Bell, Cook & Moore (wr) we could easily afford Manning and probably even Wayne.
