scs787 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Any idea what it was last year? 120M I believe, so not that big of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingtwig Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Albert Breer just mentioned that the new tv $$ doesn't start til 2014 therefore won't effect the cap # til 2015. So 2015 will be the 1st yr we will have a much larger increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingtwig Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yet another reason to restructure/backload some contracts. U will obviously see alot of backloaded contracts but still gonna be tough to exactly what propose. And this is assuming that levitre will take that $8M when its quite possible other teams like Indy could go higher with them and several others have 45+ available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how good Levitre is exactly. Is he the best OG in the league??? Carl Nicks is the highest paid with some weird contract where his cap hit was 14M his first year then 3M the next (a base salary of 6.5 then 715,000). Logan Mankins, the 2nd highest paid OG got 5.5M his first year then 7M his next. I know teams have more money now but is he gonna get paid more than every other OG in the league??

Im looking at fact that he has a lot of suitors. Plenty of teams have a ton of space plus he has said he wants to go shopping for that big deal. Typically that screams of a classic over pay. Is he worth carl nicks $$.no. but could he get it. Possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly Carl Nicks first 2 year average was ~7.5M, even with all the suitors I can't imagine him getting a mill more. I'd go to 8.5.

adam Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Found this over at PFT, I don't know if this has been discussed. Looks like we have an extra $3.2 million space over the cap if we would like to use it. Check out the link and let me know if I am reading that correctly. If so, that would be a little nice extra buffer for free agency or re-signing some players.

Link: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/...ments-for-2013/ I mentioned that a few days ago on a differnt thread. I read we have 13.3 plus carry over of 3.2. With the players we can cut, should have around 21.5 mi. to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 If I'm not mistaken that number is more towards 24 than 21 if they cut Davis, Spaeth, and Hester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so , I took it off a website that stated 13.3 as the cap space plus the other additions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I don't have the time or desire to crunch this, but it would be interesting to pair up the FAs with the teams in the most dire salary cap situations. If I were GM, that's a nugget of information that would always be in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
