Team-by-team Cap Room - Page 2

The Packers are in much worse shape than I thought. We still have to give out contracts to Jennings, Collins, and the #9 pick. That could get pricey.

That may be where the term "projected" comes in for the guys at askthecommish.

Aaron Rodgers

PACKmanN · 02-10-2009, 04:33 PM

right, Rodgers took 20 million..

thetedginnshow · 02-10-2009, 04:42 PM

Pretty sure that's the Jets' figure with Favre included.

Notredameleo · 02-10-2009, 04:43 PM

The Lions have between 36-40 million, not 26.

But then they gave it back to Roman because Willis said it was distracting him while he was trying to get real on some fools.

Now that I think about it, I've seen the Bucs reported at around $52 million, and the Broncos reported at $41 million. Maybe askthecommish is taking into account the signings of draft picks... That would explain the discrepancy about the Lions, Bucs, and Broncos....

CashmoneyDrew · 02-10-2009, 04:52 PM

31 million in cap and we're lowballing the hell out of Haynesworth. It's gonna be a sad day when he walks... :(

Have faith VooDoo, for the force is with us...

No, he says it's $12M at the moment and will be between $20-30M when free agency starts because each year the cap grows and the FO worked contracts out so that we had even more space, like the aforementioned clause in Donald Strickland's contract.

Sense. It makes.

The Vikings actually have 28 Million under the cap not 20.

The Vikings’ salary-cap situation
February 10th, 2009 – 1:30 PM by Judd Zulgad

And you thought the NFL season just finished. Actually, the fun is just starting.

The scouting combine is next week and on Feb. 27 free agency will kickoff. While the free-agent crop might make it unlikely the Vikings will spend like they did a year ago, the salary-cap shouldn’t be an issue. The Vikings are currently about $28 million under the $123 million cap for the 2009 season.

That is down slightly from last season when the Vikings entered free agency with more than $30 million in cap space. Minnesota’s cap room for this year could grow depending on any moves made before the free agency period begins that could clear more space.

D-Unit · 02-10-2009, 05:04 PM

Doesn't really matter with the cap going away and all...

What really surprises me is that Detroit actually spent a cent for their team. I'm flabergasted! :p

Lord I hope so. Resigning Haynesworth and picking up a number one receiver= dream off-season for me. The draft would then just be icing on the cake.

djp · 02-10-2009, 05:08 PM

It always amazes me every year when the Vikings seem to have $15/20M in cap room.

They must be masters of the cap, because they've spent like crazy.

OzTitan · 02-10-2009, 05:11 PM

Again, for people claiming their team has a few extra $M more than reported here, the "salary cap" being a static figure is a myth - LTBE incentives makes the projected $123M cap actually vary from team to team with cap credits. The exact cap room numbers will vary a lot depending on what the source factors in. Realistically it won't matter much for 90% of teams what the exact amount is as they won't be spending anywhere near it.

That's just how contract talks start. Got to know the limits, both ways. Team lowballs, agent throws out a stupid high set of numbers. If they can find a middle ground before the clock runs out, they have a deal.

Personally, I won't be excited either way. One way we're letting our best player go, the other way we're paying top defensive player money to a guy who hasn't played a full season yet in his career, who has had more sacks in his 2 contract years than every year before that combined. By resigning Haynesworth, we're also not generally getting better as a team - just avoiding getting worse. Who knows, maybe shifting slightly away from defense and focusing a bit more on offense and hence balancing the team is what the Titans need. It's an awfully big risk either way.

Don't worry, when the actual figures come out we'll have at least $25 million if not closer to 30.

Xiomera · 02-10-2009, 08:40 PM

The Lions have closer to 35-38 million right now, not 26.

LonghornsLegend · 02-10-2009, 08:50 PM

Dallas isn't doing too bad right now considering were going to let Canty walk, restructure Roy Williams(SS) contract or release him outright, and Greg Ellis maybe...This is good news for re-signing Miles Austin who at this point is all I'm concerned about.

dan77733 · 02-10-2009, 08:59 PM

With the Cowboys only having $10m in cap room, no way in hell they release T.O. and take an $8m cap hit. Even releasing Williams and Ellis, DAL still wont have enough to sign Ware to an extension as well as their draft picks.

No no no. They can let Ware go to Philly!

You guys gotta remember that cap money is just a figure. Just because a team is $31 million under the cap doesn't mean that they have $31 million to spend. The money that these players make (especially fat guaranteed bonuses) comes out of somebody's pocket. That's why I keep saying that it's gonna be tougher for small market teams to meet the minimum required spending amount than it will be for them to go over the cap.

The Vikings never have good players to resign. Which is why it seems like they are always spending money, re-signing your players doesn't make big headlines.
