With this kind of cap space expect Gettleman to be active in free agency this coming week. Just don't expect names like Weddle or Foster.

DG waiting on some of that cap space around the league to dry up so he can swoop in with his 20 million and clean up like a boss.

Just don't expect names like Weddle or Foster. Gettleman will sign a bunch of low 2nd/3rd tier guys that will add depth to our roster.

Although I would like to see him spend for a guy like Casey Hayward or Patrick Robinson

Casey Hayward intrigues me a lot. I think his asking price will be too high for Gentleman. Robinson would come cheaper. Boykin is another name is watch as a slot corner.

I think we will see a lot of value signings soon. Something is coming down the pipeline at DT. I wouldn't be surprised to see a TE brought in to compete with Dickson

Exactly. We need to understand that every day that goes by, the price drops for these free agents. Now that most of the top 100 FA are gone, we can go to work.

New NFLPA salary report now has all 68 salaries, but our cap space actually went up (likely an error correction) to $20,976,231. Less estimated rookie pool of $4,236,951 brings space to $16,739,280. Worth noting that any undrafted free agents (and there are normally several) would likely not count toward the top 51 salaries, save for small signing bonuses, and thus would have a very small impact on our cap space.

Don't forget Gettleman likes to keep 6-7 million or so available during the season as "just in case" money.

[top dawg]

Yeah I'm beginning to think Weddle is really wishful thinking, but, no matter, the market is rapidly settling down, and Getty can do a lot of damage with $10-13 mil with who's left.

More importantly, what are the cap numbers for the next 3 years? We like to roll some money over and we have a few more guys to sign who are grossly underpaid like Short and Norwell.
