So basically outstanding job again by Bruce. Man those Vinny contracts were god aweful.

my only question is "does Hall's contract honor or violate the spirit of the cap??"

Of course it does!

18 million dollar penalty for you!

hard to argue with that contract. his cap hits are basically 2, 5, 5, 5 mill over the next 4 years (for those that skipped the link). he also has low dead cap if he craps the bed at some point and the skins want to move on.

Great start for the 'Skins cap-wise. Let's see if we can get Orakpo to come in less than expected too.

Would be nice but doubt that, DH has made a lot of money, he wants to be here so he will take a cap friendly contract "HELP THE TEAM OUT."

I see at least $10 million of probable cuts, if they make the cuts by my calculation that will leave about $30 million of space.

It's a great site. One of the guys that runs it was a key source for my cap sheets. He used to send me all kinds of info and never asked for anything in return. His numbers are rock solid. Now it's all online for everyone. I wish them the best of luck with the site.

[Schneed10]

Consider this a rough draft, but here's where I think we stand:

Space entering today: $21.1M

Andre Roberts: ($2.9M)
Santana Moss: ($1.5M) assumed
Adam Hayward: ($1.0M)
Shawn Lauvao: ($2.8M) assumed
Perry Riley: ($3.5M) assumed
Five Players Bumped from Top 51: $2.5M

Current Estimated Cap Space: $11.9M

I made an awful lot of assumptions in coming up with that, mostly based on patterns they seem to be showing with these $4M per year contracts to D Hall, Riley, Lauvao, and Roberts. There could be more space if they backloaded the contracts a bit more than I think. Consider this a conservative estimate. They could have $13M.

[Schneed10]

Also, the Lauvao signing calls into question the status of Chester, Lichtensteiger, or Montgomery. Releasing any one of these guys would free up $2M - $3M in cap space. If Steiger moves to C then Montgomery could be history.

And if the 'Skins get a DL they like, I'd expect Stephen Bowen could be released to free up space.
