I just did an update.

- PC has Collins on his site: 6 years, $14.7M Base Salary, $3M Signing Bonus, $100K LTBE in 2008-2010, Total Contract $18M. 2008 cap hit $1.5M. The info hasn't hit NFLPA yet but PC is usually good with this type of stuff.

- The official 2008 NFL salary cap is set at $116.729M, up from the previous estimate of $116M.

- Jason Campbell's 2008 salary has gone up by $600K. It appears he triggered a salary escalator clause in his contract.

- Santana Moss' restructure saved us $2.1M against the 2008 cap as Schneed has already pointed out.

- I lowered our cap credits by $15K to account for Tyler Ecker's SB allocation not being counted in the top 51.

I have us at exactly $2.5M under the 2008 cap, just as Schneed the Cap Clairvoyant predicted.

PS - Working the Warpath cap night shift is tiring. I hope Matty lets me switch shifts with Schneed one day.

Nice update.

To think I have a shift though? No way CC, it's your cap world, I'm just livin in it!

Nice work as usual.

Do you think when the Skins are planning out their cap budgets for the next season that they do an analysis of some sort on league revenues in order to get the best estimate of what the cap limit will be each season? Since they've been operating pretty tight to the cap the last few seasons, I'd imagine that's the first thing they'd want to hone in on real well.

Yes I would guess they definitely do this. They probably project a few years into the future.

Im a little confused, i thought that we cut brandon lloyd, so why is he still on our cap sheets? Is it cause we don't know if he is a pre or post june 1st cut?

shoot man, I was hoping that we would work some money around so that we could cut him this year. I think we have the space to do it this year if we dont pay big $ in FA, and it would allow us to have more space to work next year to pick up some FA's.
