adam Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 So here is the current estimated available cap for teams with over $10M in effective cap space. These teams are really the only ones that could sign a player to a decent contract without other cap restructuring. If you consider you need $5M for rookie pool and $5-10M for operating money for the year, The Bears, Falcons, and Packers are really the only teams with room to sign players to a deal that is over $7M AAV. There are still several players left like that. The Bears could sign 2 of them and still have the most cap space. So Poles is not done yet.

BearFan PHX Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 and he could extend players too. Plus if needed more money, he could restructure Eddie Jackson and/or cut or restructure Whitehair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am thinking Kmet would be the easiest, Claypool the least likely, and Johnson is going to be the toughest. Jackson and Whitehair definitely can save close to $10M if they need it.

Stinger226 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I can see him giving Mooney an extension. A lot of WRs this free agency getting 11 mil a year, be a cheap get for Mooney going forward on an off year. 1 mi!pl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they believe he is a fringe WR1, then $11M is probably correct. JuJu just got $8.5M/multi-year deal and he seems to be more productive than Mooney. So $8.5-$11M seems like Mooney's range.

If we can ink Mooney around that range I am good with them doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the type of player I'd give a higher bonus to in exchange for a lower AAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
