Dallas Cowboys projected 19 million over new cap. (1 Viewer)

[Da Guru]

Just heard Clayton on ESPN talking about the new cap that will be in place this season. Dallas going into the new CBA will be the team most over next seasons cap at 18.9 million over.

This will limit what Dallas wanted to do in free agency and they will also have to dump some salaries to get under.

Clayton also mentioned the Raiders have over 10 million against the cap in dead money. Is there anyway we can find a list of where the teams stand capwise as of now?

I believe the 2 teams furthest beneath the cap are the Bengals and Jaguars, both around $40m under the cap.It's interesting to think about this stuff, but I think in about 10 days it'll be a moot point as there is going to be a crazy amount of activity in the coming days.

They also mentioned on Mike and Mike there might be a minimum cap of about $106 mil, so teams like the Bengals and Jags might have to go on a shopping spree.

Buh bye MB3 and Roy at least

Buh bye MB3 and Roy at least

Unless there is some kind of amnesty cutting Roy will cause a 13 mil hit against the cap this season iirc because of how his signing bonus was structured.

To be clear, the Bucs and Bengals are on the list of "hurt" by Clayton because they will be so far below the projected FLOOR that they'll have to spend a ton of money in free agency, extensions and rookies just to get up to the floor, and that invites misappropriation of capital.

Owner Dan Snyder gave defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and cornerback DeAngelo Hall around $36 million in bonus money in 2010 to free up room to be a big spender in free agency in 2011. Snyder and Mike Shanahan will have to be creative in how they structure contracts, because the $120 million cap would give them only around $10 million of cap room. On the positive side, the Redskins' current payroll is $75.7 million, meaning Snyder would have to spend close to $45 million in cash to meet the potential minimum floor requirements. Imagine a system that forces Snyder to spend.I don't understand. They have $10M in "cap room" and are $45M under the cap? At the same time?

 

[cobalt_27]

They can/will cut Barber, Columbo, and Davis for a savings of about $8-9 million. But, they still need to retain Free. They need to sign their draft picks. I foresee a major restructuring of Romo, Austin, and Ware, but...there's no way they'll be able to afford Nnamdi, for those in Cowboyland who are dreaming of this happening.

The new CBA is going to close the gap between the ostensible salary cap and the CASH spent by teams each year on payroll. Over the years teams have gotten very adept at staying within the stated salary cap while having much different cash outlays. Some owners, like Dan Synder, have made aggressive use of upfront bonuses to spend more, but stay within the cap, while teams like the Bengals have done the opposite.So in the Redskins blurb, what Clayton is saying is that they can only spend up to $10 million in salaries that will be counted against the cap but must also spend upwards of $45 million in cash outlays. That means either giving lots of players long-term extensions (with big upfront cash bonuses that are prorated over the years), or signing free agents and paying them huge guaranteed signing bonuses.

Seems more and more likely that Nnamdi will end up in a place like DC or a dark horse like the Bucs, who have to spend some serious cheddar to make the new payroll cash floor.

Clayton just said the Buc are 59 million under the cap.

Yep...the cash cap. I assume they'll give Freeman a big bonus and consider extending him, sign a priority free agent or two, and then try to extend a few of their core guys.

Yea...the Bucs were actually the prominent team mentioned in a NYT article last summer I believe regarding the 'cash cap'....they paid 2 backup LB something like $500k in cash, while they counted around $20M against the cap.I love the fact that the Glazers will be forced to spend. They (with McKay, Allen, now Dom) really don't have a history of signing bad FAs, so it seems like a promising combo.

Cap floor is moronic as it reads in that article. Many teams are going to have to front load deals massively or give lots of 1-year deals. Didn't the post-lockout salary floor in the NHL just lead to a mountain of garbage, too-big contracts that are crippling teams already, or am I reading this all wrong? Poor Bucs, who've done a remarkable job of rebuilding the franchise without taking on awful contracts.

Perhaps the Bucs should start figuring out how to build a competitive team without relying on a few lucky hits and doing it all, otherwise, on the cheap. There are ways to invest in your team without manufacturing garbage contracts. I wouldn't "poor Bucs" this issue. This is a very opportunistic time for them, and the salary floor should only serve to accelerate their competitiveness for that division, even if they do a half-### bad job of it.

There's details in the huge Redskins thread that started last season. Basically, once they cut/trade McNabb, Haynesworth, Carter, Dockery, etc. they will free up around 40 million IIRC.

I agree this is a good time for the Bucs....and they've been doing it on the cheap....disagree about 'relying on a few lucky hits'. They built thru the draft...nothing lucky about what they've done.

DeAngelo Williams woul look very good in this offense and why no bring Steve SMith along too so the Bus would look like this...QB-FreemanRB1-DWill-60% of the touchesRB2-BlountWR1-Mike WIlliamsWR2-Steve SmithWR3-A.BennWR4-StroughterTE1-KWillTE2-StockerThis would be a very nice offense with plenty of weapons. Also would make an already improving defense that much better. Just some thoughts.

Cowboys are going to have to pay someone to take Roy Williams off their hands. Panthers and Bears both need a WR, and both are going to have to spend to hit the floor. Maybe one of them would be interested.

Bleh, not a lot of wiggle room for Detroit. Was hoping we could make at least an attempt at Nnamdi. Ahh well...

Yeah, either way the bolts are looking good. Hopefully this will "force" them to re-sign weddle and actually sign a significant UFA ot two for once, preferably on the linebacking core...
