Saints | Team allocated rookie salary cap pool
Thu, 4 May 2006 22:39:49 -0700 Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports the National Football League allocated the New Orleans Saints $5,220,174 million under the 2006 rookie salary cap pool, according to a source with access to NFL Players Association salary data. Others Houston Texans $5,390,902 New Orleans Saints $5,220,174 Tennessee Titans $5,844,517 New York Jets $6,631,295 Green Bay Packers $6,647,633 Buffalo Bills $5,366,937 San Francisco 49ers $5,646,962 http://www.kffl.com/hotw Cap Room and the Draft Each year there is an NFL draft. The NFL considers the number of picks you made and the rounds they were made in, and gives you a rookie salary cap. This rookie cap is typically something like about $3M - $6M. This is a portion of your overall salary cap, it's not extra money. The contracts you sign with your draftees must fit not only in your overall salary cap, but also inside this rookie cap. For this reason your 1st round draft pick is typically the last to sign. You need to sign everyone else first so that you know how much cap space you have available for the 1st round pick. If you've used up most of your rookie cap on the other players, you're going to have to sign a contract with a bunch of roster bonuses and such to make up the money you need and still fit in this year's camp. http://football.calsci.com/SalaryCap3.html how much will Mr. Bush get? |
