An outlier among teams with the most cap space

[Carolina Crazy V2]

RANK	TEAM	SIGNED	AVG AGE	OFFENSE	DEFENSE	CAP SPACE (W/TOP 51)
1	Jacksonville Jaguars	74	25.01	$56,446,828	$75,823,072	$54,893,076
2	San Francisco 49ers	71	25.52	$56,268,118	$56,497,240	$52,522,561
3	Cleveland Browns	62	25.65	$47,235,738	$67,047,118	$39,886,741
4	Carolina Panthers	72	25.75	$73,072,459	$39,719,599	$30,868,413
5	Tennessee Titans	69	25.57	$63,643,063	$72,043,356	$28,101,491
6	Chicago Bears	73	25.64	$66,456,597	$54,580,454	$22,605,370

 

Excluding the Panthers' record, the remaining five teams above had a combined record of 22-58(.275) last season. 

We reached the Super Bowl, but have more cap space than 28/31 other teams. 

 

It just makes me feel good.

Wow. Thanks for sharing!

We'll be getting JStew's fat contract off the books in the not too distant future too.

What does it look like at this moment or how much does he have left?

He has a $9.5M cap hit this year. In '17 it'll be $8.25M and then he's a free agent. Wouldn't save much at all to cut him this year but next year if he's a post June 1 cut we'd save $6.25M of that $8.25M.

 

Unbelievable that a RB is taking up $10M of our cap and we have $35M in cap space and made the Super Bowl last year. Truly unbelievable. I don't know how one couldn't believe in DG.

Cam is the GOAT, GMan is the GOAT.  Obviously I'm not kidding.  Moreso than "making the Super Bowl", we won 17 games.  Something that only a handful of other teams have done.  Ever.

What DG, Cam, Rivera and Luke have done here is on the path to GOAT for sure, but we still haven't won a Super Bowl. We need at least 2 from these guys for them to be in the discussion in my opinion. I would take DG as my GM over any in the history of the league, Rivera over any coach, Luke over any other defensive player, and Cam over any other QB but we still need to win it all. Preferably more than a couple times.

Just FYI, Dazed and Confused has a "sequel" coming out this year...

Dazed and Confused = the 70's

Everybody Wants Some = the 80's

We will still win at least 3 over the next decade.  Never been more sure of anything.

This is better than porn. In a different way, but slightly better.

Kalil is taking up $10m.  Heck, Ed Dickson is the 12th highest paid player on the team--we have never been in better shape.

Sh*t, just win one and I'm happy the rest of my life.

We'll have some big contracts coming in the next couple of years, and a lot of expiring deals after this season on defense especially....but yeah, we're sitting pretty right now.

That much cap space, with Cam and Luke locked up. Kalil (if he keeps playing) will cost less next time around, Olsen and TD have some time left on good deals, etc.  Hard not to love where we sit for the near future.
