July 15, 201114 yr comment_90887 I've heard on ESPN that the new cap will be 120M. Does anyone know what impact that'll have on us? Where are we right now? Also, does anyone have any news on what the floor may be? I know this is all a bit premature. But, I'm just kind of curious... Report
July 15, 201114 yr comment_90889 I know they'll be in great shape. Last year, their cap was about $75.73 million, or about that. Granted, I'm likely off by some millions. This means they'll have to reach a certain number this year by signing players who will get them to at least the cap floor. In conclusion, they can sign 2 high priced FA's. Remember, though, they have to sign their rookies and Kreutz first, along with other players that were Bears last year (Rod Wilson for example). Luckily, the Packers will be the 2nd most affected team by this new cap in the NFC behind the Giants. Report
July 15, 201114 yr Author comment_90890 Thanks. I seem to get the impression that we should be able to sign Olin and others...and still have room to make either one gigantic splash or 2 decent sized spashes in FA. I'll put the kool-aid down now...
