Crazy Canuck keeps this information here on the Warpath and keeps it in a much more user-friendly format (in my opinion). If anyone is so inclined, you can actually copy Canuck's tables to excel and do some number crunching on your own (which I've done). He last updated on the 19th of December, so the link you provided is more updated. But check back on Canuck's figures here when he updates. The information is easier to handle.

That other site you mentioned is PCinOZ's cap site. I've never loved the format but his info is second to none, especially concerning signing bonus details, etc.

I'm gonna do another update in the next day or two.

Ahh yeah the dude I recently banned due to the fact he was spamming us and trying to get around our 10 post minimum to post new threads. Good info but the guy needs a lesson in forum etiquette.

Agreed. Which Warpath member(s) is responsible for giving etiquette lessons? PWNED?

How come the cap penalty for cutting Archuleta on the CPND sheet is only $4 million, but it's $9 million on here. His says that the second bonus is an option bonus and yours says it is a signing bonus. Which one is right?

[steveo395]

I found an article about Archuleta's contract and it basically says that the cap sheets here are right. But it also said this:

Also, if they did release him at any point, there are "offset" clauses built into his contract that would allow for some cap credits for the Skins. Like, say he is cut in 2008 as this last scenario explained, and then gets a $1 million signing bonus someplace else. That amount would be offset from the total cap hit the Skins would take.

So would we get back whatever signing bonus the next team gives him?

If what JLC says is correct than I would assume the Redskins would get whatever next team gives in bonus could be used to offset the cap hit - although I doubt it would be anywhere near the bonus he is still to count against the Skins. I guess if you are another team and needed a punt team captain that would be worth the vet minimum - so maybe we are talking about a $50,000 bonus or whatever the average vet minimum contracts gets these days.

that's apparently a special clause in his contract, and not a general rule (or used very often, from what i've seen). the average vet bonus is still 40k i believe. after that point, you'd have to count the full value towards the cap instead of the vet min number (410k? or is it 450k now?).
