Possibly important info on salary cap

[PhinFan8589]

Today, we were all shocked to hear on espn that we were 21.9 over the cap. Soon after we cut about $14 million in money. So all things assumed, without a new CBA, we are about 7 million over. Now, everybody has been talking about these bogus incentives that will add an additional $10 million in debt. However, what if John Clayton got to the 21.9 million number by adding in the bogus incentives. That would make sense because Clayton was the first to report of these incentives. Stay With ME Therefore, if we get a deal done with the CBA, it is safe to assume we would be about 5 million under. You see what I am saying. Every body said we had 5 million under, and then were shot down when people brought up the extra incentives. But if the incentives were already compiled into the cap calculation, then we indeed do have the 5 million. So....

According to this theory

7 million over without a new CBA deal

5 million under with new CBA deal

I believe that Clayton got to that number by compiling extra debt due to CBA, already present debt, and the new 10 million debt due to the incentives.

So maybe we are not entirely that bad off. If they get a deal done, we could have as much as 10 or 12 million if we make some more cuts and restructures.

And if they dont get a deal done, we need to cut 7 million, which can be accomplished by:


cuttting Seau, Spragan, Booker, Zgonina, and Gus Frerotte.

um yea i knew that must counted that 10 million, and when he said that and he didnt count the 10 million, it would be a sign of old age

Someone give me feedback, am I crazy or did I figure out why our cap number is so high???

accoring to the Miami Herald article, these 4 moves put us below the cap number, so im not sure what that 21.9 million figure was derived from.

i have another question: if a train leaves los angelas going 70 mph, and another leaves new york going 65 mph, where will the trains meet? lol...j/k, i consider myself a pretty educated person, but i cant follow you, you might be right, i guess all those late nights hanging out with ricky williams has hurt my ability to follow a conversation.

There have been so many conflicting reports it's hard to tell as of right now.....I think Friday we will get a clearer picture of what is going on. I for one believe that we are around 5 million over (according to Nublar) it makes sense to me.

P.S.- I'm not saying anything about where something should be posted anymore, it's not my place.:D

Your right, but we are actually closer to $5 million over, not $7 million. Clayton's numbers this morning were based on a $92 million cap. The real cap is $94.5 million.

Basically any team that isn't the Vikings, Browns, Packers, or 49ers is gonna be screwed if a new CBA isn't reached by midnight tomorrow night/morning.

Hmmmm, where will they meet? Where is Vince Young when I need him?

Your right. 2/3 of the NFL probably won't do much in Free Agency this year. While teams like Miami will suffer this offseason, the teams that will face the most damage are teams like Arizona, Green Bay and Buffalo. They won't be able to compete with teams like the Redskins, Cowboys and Dolphins in an uncapped year.

Well- if a new CBA is approved then we will be in a lot better shape than just that, the cap would be at LEAST 105 million, the union would not accept anything lower than what was already offered.
