So now how about the remaining Cap?

unless they structured it 5, 5, 5, 10, 30, then you can cut him after year 4, but i doubt Kalil would have signed such a contract lol 

5-8-12-14-16

25 covered after year 3, take the other 30 and gtfo if he sucks, which he won't. 16 mil a year in year 5 will even be a bargain considering inflation if he ends up being all-pro.

Nah. If his guaranteed portion is covered in the first three years, the last two go away if we part ways. We're on the hook for at least 3 years. Give it time, we aren't going to cut a guy we just signed to a 5 year deal @ 11M a year after one season. Not happening.

true. Ideally i'd say 8.5 each of the first 3 years, and then worry about the rest later, although if he turns out to be a stud, that's a $15M cap hit in years 4 and 5 is brutal

[Bronn]

naah... 15m for a starting LT 4-5 years from now will be considered a bargain. If he sticks and does well, it will be a great move.

That should update sometime tomorrow. I'm hoping that already accounts for Addison and CJ's deals. Kalil's is not reflected in that yet.

Wish we'd figure out what's up with Oher soon.

I'm really terrified about that whole situation.

Where did those numbers come form? I mean it makes sense, it's basically a base salary 3year deal with 5-8-12 in guarantees. Then if he sucks, cut. If hes a legitimate LT, you have a bargain.

It's not a 5 yr 55 million deal.

It's a 3 year 28 million deal, with two team options at 14 & 16.

That said my gawd this is Matt Kalil........ One Viking fan said it best- " he's terrible when healthy, problem is he's never healthy."

I hope ray brown is up-to-date on his voodoo, cause it's going to that and divine intervention to fix Matt "bottom five in all five years" Kalil.

Current additions that have released contract details: KK Short (13.4), Charles Johnson (4.4), Addision (4.4), Norwell (2.7), Fozzy (1.4), Colin Jones (1.2), Bersin (.8)and Silatolu (.7)

Leaves us with 25 million exactly in cap space.

It is projected to cost us 7.8 million to sign our rookies.  

This means we had 17.2 million free going into free agency. 
 

Who knows what Matt Kalil's cap hit is going to be. But subtract that, and that is what we are at.

Thanks for doing the math, that's why you're a doctor.

Sooooo, we got a bit over 6 million left?

How much we get back if Oher retires?

Completely depends on how the contract is structured.  Whatever the signing bonus is will be spread over 5 years.  Then the base salary can fluctuate by year. There is also a difference between the guaranteed money and "fluff" money.

At this point, I'm saying Cruz/Munnerlyn/Peppers left to sign, but who knows.

If we can get those three guys we will be a better team this year even without the draft.

[carpanfan96]

They have about 18m before counting rookies, which is roughly 7.5-8m. So about 11m left counting Kalil but not sheppard.

 

Keep in mind, they could still reach a long term deal with KK. They can cut Oher and save 2.5m. They can extend Star and Ryan Kalil and save money there as well.

[yasuhara2241]

We all need to remember one thing, we haven't even discussed the possibility of restructuring contracts. That can be easily done. So whatever we have we really don't need to take away the 7.8 for rookies bc that can easily be done before the draft.
