They are just about out of money until they cut someone- money must be saved for draft choices, and IR players

Yes, but they have a couple of guys who are practically begging to be cut based on their mediocre play versus their salaries. Plus the Skins could restructure a couple of contracts.

YES.... i LOVE the J Johnson signing..and at a very reasonable price. I would give the FA an "A" so far with their dealings in FA given what was available with the funds they had..They still need to sign a FS a d possibly a TE (Gresham) the use the draft to address RT, OLB, ILB, and RB..

Its not like we are completely up against it and we have alot of flexibility in creating space. We can extend Kerrigan and/or Silverback and we have cut-able contracts of Chester, Porter, and Paulsen.

We gonna be aight

Our estimated draft pool, by at least one source, is 7.0M

Projected Cap Space for all 2015 NFL Teams | Spotrac Research

Per Schneed, pre-JJ signing we have ~12.7M in space. Cuttting Chester, Paulsen and Porter creates another 7.1M (See OP in 2015 salary cap thread). If TW and RK get extended, even more space.

We are fine.

We went into the draft last year with around 2Mill. Right now after signing JJ (no Lotus, not that JJ), we are somewhere between 11 and 14Million. The main difference is that we will either have 1 or 2 (if some trade scenarios work out) 1st round picks.

We are nowhere near out of cap. And if we were, you would see a Kerrigan restructure in a heartbeat.

Are you saying that Johnson is dyn-o-mite?

I think they are closer to $11 million than $14 million - reportedly they need about $6 million for draft picks, and about $5 million for money to sign replacement players for guys that go on the IR

Prior to signing Johnson, we had 12.7M per Schneed which puts at about 10.7M with easy moves to get us to 17.5M (cut Paulsen, Chester & Porter).

We have plenty of room.

your logic is off, at this moment we have about 10M.
it's that simple.

Heck the Chiefs on Overthecap.com are at -587K.

There are 11 teams that have less cap space at this moment then we do.

BUT,

with a stroke of a pen (restructuring/resigning Kerrigan) we gain another 6million which would leave only 12 teams with more cap space.

That's before a single cut would have to happen.

BUT
cuts will happen.
Tracy Porter will be cut, that's +2M

and that puts us up to 9th highest cap space approximately.

Bottomline:
You can't cry no money based on future expenses, while ignoring future savings.

We have a middle of the pack cap number now, and have made several solid budget wise moves.

Wait, I thought you made the long winded arguments, and I took the short approach. Red is Blue, Up is down, Dogs are cats. Craziness has come!

you are right, however they must budget for the draft, and IR expenses

The budget is about equal to the current cap space
