The way it looks now if the penalty stays in place is we will have a cap of around 91mil this year when you take into the account for the penalty that is left over.

I dont know what cap sheet you're looking at. If we are assessed the full 18MM hit, the sheet on this site has us only a couple million under the projected cap for 2013.

Look at the link that Matty posted. 120,7 mil was the cap for this year for the league last year. Meaning we would only have 102,7 available if we took the full 18m. Our bottom line # was something like 113,9. So we weren't at that 102,7 # that would have split the 36mil over the two seasons.

keep in mind that it is not official, and that it was last updated before the regular season started

Are you trying to argue that we didnt take an 18MM cap penalty last year, and as a result, we'll take more than 18MM this year? You are mistaken. The NFL forced us to take the 18MM hit last year. I beleive you are misinterpretting the information on the cap spreadsheet:

BHA I may be, and I'll admit it if I am wrong. That is why I asked the question and I was hoping for CC to confirm we took the 18 mil this year.
