Im gonna stop trying to figure out the salary cap because it just doesnt make sense. Our payroll is only 75 million or so and we need to spend at least 108 million but yet we are only 10.6 under in cap room. No sense what so ever.

If its dead cap why doesnt he just say that? Clayton doesnt write like thats what he is talking about.

His numbers and my numbers (Halsell's numbers) don't agree, but that's likely because of the way that the McNabb deal is being included in the accounting values. The fact that it's pretty much a done deal that he won't be here in Week 1 makes the $20 million under cap figure the most accurate to date.

Either way, the deadcap is a substantial portion of our finances this year, and a big reason that we'll almost certainly be near the cap in 2011 despite spending a ton of money, and then we'll probably have a lot more money to spend in 2012.
