How Much Cap Space

[finfanatl]

With the 3 cuts today, how much cap space do the Fins have as of now?

 

[nick1]

4 cuts. We have saved over 20 million. We have over 49 million of cap space now

Gotta get us a good guard or two. Leary and/or Zietler. We have the money now.

How much each players saved.
Mario Williams: 8.5 M$
Earl Mitchell: 4 M$
Branden Albert: 7.2 M$

If Koa Misi is cut that will save 4.2 M$

Is that before the projected cap increase?

Stills, Branch, and a quality LG for 7M AAV. That's 21M.

MLB for 8M-10M. So now you're at 30M.

Sims for 2-3M AAV? DT for 4-5M AAV? 38M. Leaving 10 for rookies.

That's with a projected increase to 168 million. And the 8.3 million from 2016 is rolled over for Miami

Spotrac has us at 49 M$ in cap space. They have used 168 M$ for the 2017 cap. But i dont think that number is finalized yet.

Say no to Branch I don't trust players that "have career years" only when their contract expires

You forgot Landrys extension.

To put things in perspective the Browns have 107 million of cap room. They can buy whomever they please but who wants to play for that dumpster fire

Even with all the space, most other teams have a lot of space too. FA prices are going to exceed expectations IMHO. That said, thanks to the Tunsil pick-up we did have the flexibility to be one of the teams with a chunk to spend. Better than not having it.

To be fair, he signed a 1 year deal and had 49 tackles/5.5 sacks. I doubt he's going to command top dollar on the market.

San Francisco is also around 100 million. Hell I think the Pats have 65 million.

Updated list of teams and their cap. Miami is #11 so 10 teams have more cap room and yes that's after our cuts today

Thanks. I always look at relative cap space, and try not to thing of it in absolute terms. We are in decent shape, but there will be a lot of cash thrown around this off-season.
