Panthers possibly 28 million under the cap

[Mr. Scot]

On their 'Sources and Affiliates' page, Spotrac lists its NFL contract info as coming from USA Today, Rotoworld, Aaron Wilson's Twitter and a site called OverTheCap.com

 

'Over The Cap' is the work of a guy named Jason Fitzgerald (assisted by a guy named Nick Korte) who is up front about the fact that he's just a Jets fan and has never worked in or with the NFL or any other major sport.  On one of his pages, he calls out the guys at Spotrac for using his stuff without sourcing, a situation they have now apparently corrected.

 

How seriously to take either of these pages?  Judge for yourself.

 

ESPN apparently doesn't make their 'Roster Management Tool' available to the public.  Wish they did.  It'd be nice to be able to compare.

Spotrac has been wrong numerous times. We'll see who's correct soon though.

I'd take spotrac and overthecap vs ESPN's hidden resource. Both show the math and it's simple. 2014 cap limit (~126 to 128) - top 51 contracts (~106) - dead money (~18) + roll over (~6) = cap space (8 to 10 depending on limit).

[Doc Holiday]

I'll believe it when I see it.

28 min available doesn't sound like cap hell to me, like Gman says we're in.

It's no where near that in reality, not going to go into every nitty gritty point why but a lot of it has to deal with players currently not under contract with UFA and RFA, it basically means yeah on paper we have cap space but in reality we don't.  someone pointed out earlier that we are about $8m under the cap right now, and I think thats a much more accurate statement then the $28m .

Hardy wants all of it.

He wants to the cap like he eats his breakfast.

Cap values cited by ESPN and spotrac only differ by ~500k (124M vs 123.5M in cap charge before carry over)

Numbers still work out to 8-10 space as of right now. 2014 cap limit (projected 126 to 128) - 123.5 + 6 carry over = current cap space

Ironically enough, OverTheCap includes a link to "Cheap NFL Jerseys" :lol:

Sounds too good to be true. But I hope it is. DG the magical magician.

indeed. 

[Ken]

Yeah, no way this is right.

I'm looking forward to Dave Gettleman's interview at the combine on Thursday. He's always interesting. 

[MtnProwler]

This is not any different than what we've heard before, take the dead money out of the 28M we are left with 13-16M. No where in that piece did it say the 28M is what we have to "play" with.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Hey, remember when everyone was convinced Gettleman was tanking the season because he wasn't spending extra cap space on offensive linemen last year?

Imagine the numbers without that roll over...

[CatMan72]

I have a hard time reconciling this with Gettleman's "cap challenged" talk.
