Guess 'NO' to shockey, Garay, etc.

And would that be enough for us to sign our rookies?

Well, the nxt couple of years is gonna be the same or worst. I think the cap is gonna hit us harder in the future.

The Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons have less salary-cap room than all of the NFL’s 29 other teams.

According to numbers obtained by ESPN.com, the Panthers have the league’s least cap room at $1.08 million. That includes the deal signed by guard Mike Pollak on Thursday. That one-year deal is worth a $700,000 base salary. But the Panthers took advantage of the NFL’s minimum salary benefit to lessen Pollak’s cap hit. The benefit allows the Panthers to count only $540,000 of Pollak’s base salary toward the cap. Throw in his $65,000 signing bonus and his cap figure for this year is $605,000.

Specking of cap space the Redskins and Cowboys just filed a grievance against the NFL.

Hope it works out in their favor. I believe they were given the raw end by Mara and his cahoots.

Stop it

Okay, so how can Hurney find ways to save? Specifically, who could/would restructure, cut, etc.

I think trading Stewart would free up only $1.3 million, even tho our cap hit is $2.6 million if he stays. That would double what we have available tho! :(

Stop it

Are you a mod and isn't this topic about cap space??

[DawgzLife]

Speaking of lack of cap space. Hurney really screwed the pooch by giving such a huge signing bonus to Mare. At this point we don't even have enough cap space to cut him, since the prorated signing bonus is accelerated if cut (now or after June 1st, I think is where it's spread out a little more). His production makes me wish he wasn't signed longterm & we could just go with Medlock (could he be worse than Mare was?)

$3.2 million tied up for this year alone in Mare...pathetic.

You actually want the Redskins and Cowboys to win the grievance?

Yes of couse it was a BS thing for the NFL to do especailly a couple days before the start of the free agent signing period.

Well, I hope people don't look into it too much.....bc the arguemet could be made what Carolina did was just as wrong. Actually they brought it up on Sirius NFL.

It was a BS move to not put the rule in writing. The idea of preventing teams from pushing millions of cap dollars into an uncapped year is legitimate.

The fact we went from lowest cap figure to highest without getting better is infuriating. Our only addition was Cam, imagine all the cuts we will be making to keep him in 5 years. There is no easy answer here we are kind of screwed. This is just more material for the Hurney haters.

Counting this season...Cam only has 3 more years on his deal. Will probably want to give him a new deal in a year or 2 at this pace
