What is our CAP situation now??

[guatemalanfan]

hey can somebody tell me What is our CAP situation?? now that theCBA was extended.

I believe the Dolphins are like 6 or 7 million under right now. Before the CBA agreement, they were like 2 million over. So do the math, the cap was raised from 94.5 million to 102 million. So thats a difference of almost 8 million dollars more that they have now.

Check out the salary cap forum.

 

[fishfan34]

Yeah, it's like 8.5 million under right now..

 

[Disgustipate]

Check out the salary cap forum.

Which doesnt actually appear to have any posts detailing the cap post CBA.

 

[BennyVW]

The cap page is not updated...

some numbers are wrong now that NLTBE incentives wont count against this year....

We should be anywhere from 8-11 million under...

We are now 6 million UNDER the cap, give or take a few hundred thousand. We were 1.5 over before the CBA which gave us another 7.5. If we cut Gus we get an additional $4 Million. I have heard the money allotted for rookies will be between 1.5 and 2.0, so we have about 4 million without cutting Gus and 8 million if we cut him. IMO, we cut Gus, trade a 7th rounder for Ramsey or sign Mccown and draft Croyle. We spend the additional cap money on Ashworth, Big Sam, and an inexpensive veteran corner/safety or linebacker. We draft DB, LB, G/C, and WR.
1st: Williams CB
2nd: Croyle
3rd: Mix WR (SOD, mark my words)
4th: Matua G

Brees and Culpepper are damaged goods and all we need is a solid QB. We have Ronnie.

Ramsey may not be physically damaged but he's mentally damaged. I remember him playing against Dallas on MNF and he looked totally shell shocked. I still don't understand why so many want to settle for a solid or inexpensive QB starting for us instead of a Pro Bowl calibur one.

I disagree. Brees is a proven pro-bowl caliber qb in his prime, with an injury that the medical community agrees is not a long term problem. You get Brees and Mawae/Bently in FA, and draft Winston Justice at #16. The offensive positions of concern were C, OT, and QB. You now have top talent at each of those positions, and the entire rest of the draft can be used for defense. (You could also make a case for using our 1st round pick on secondary and getting your OT in later rounds, but I'll leave that up to Nick and the talent/value evaluators).

Get off the Ramsey kick dude. Are you his brother or something? The guy is horrible. Brees or Culpepper would be much better than Ramsey or McCown.

Guys, a healthy Brees at a reasonable price would be fine. A QB with a high price tag and an injured shoulder is something entirely different. Be careful what you ask for. The whole Pro-Bowl QB thing is way overrated as is the "career back-up". Of the Pro-bowl QBs this year, 3 of the 9 were watching the playoffs on TV. The only two that made it to the big game, Hasselbeck and Delhomme, were "career back-ups" and nobody in Seattle or Carolina were very happy to get them because they wanted a "proven Pro-Bowler" too. I love your idea of Mawae and Justice. Those are critical needs for us. Remember, if we sign Brees, we won't b able to sign any other sought after free agent. Good stuff and keep up the dialogue.:tongue:

One injury and some of you guys already consider Brees damaged goods. He's a pro bowl quarterback and we all should be thrilled to get him.

Contrare mon frer. Mccown and Ramsey actually have very respectable numbers for QB's after their first few years. Keep in mind that Ramsey had one of the worst offenses with the cavernously overrated Spurrier. He took an absolute beating, some of which was due to his indecision, but he was tough. Compare Mccown and Ramsey with the first thirty or so games of highly thought of QBs and you might be surprised. Check out Eli Mannings numbers or Hasselbeck or Favre or Plummer. Remember too that Mccown actually won games for the Cardinals, unlike Warner whom they paid a fortune to re-sign.:goof:

The Jets wish they had realized the same thing about Pennington. And the Rams about Warner. :D

Ok, I actually checked out the numbers for you guys. Hopefully other teams won't read this.

Favre 37 Td, 37 INT, rating 78
Eli 30 td, 26 int, 70.5
Hasselbeck 22 td, 18 int, 79
Plummer 32 td, 35 int, 74
Mccown 25 td, 29 int, 72
RAMSEY 34 td, 29 int, 75 :tantrum:

Sort of puts things in perspective. Check Brees' first 30 games out.
