Current Cap Space?
 

Does anyone know where we stand in cap space? Could there be room for Victor Butler and Nnamdi Asomugha?

Re: Current Cap Space?
 

Don't quote me but I just read somewhere that we are 5.4 million over.
Sorry I can't back this number up.

Interesting... Do you know if Harper restructured his contract? Loomis and the front office do a heck of a job creating space under the cap to make roster moves. I can't imagine us being over the cap, yet somehow we have money to acquire Lewis, and talking about signing Nnamdi and possibly another free agent.

Re: Current Cap Space?
 

Loomis will make it work no matter how much it is and if he doesn't Benson can get off the money pot and pay those fines!

Will Smith is the worst possible fit in a 3-4 defense, I still think he gets released. Im not sure how much that would free up though.

Re: Current Cap Space?
 

That's the thing with Smith, even if we release him he hits our cap so we might as well keep him.

Re: Current Cap Space?
 

Payton has talked about the defense has played variations of the 34 in the past, and although Smith is not your ideal 34 end at least he is a veteran who can get to the passer. He is not a total loss in my opinion... he can play the run and is a veteran who can probably handle learning another defensive scheme. We could do worse.

So I agree, we might as well keep him. How long is he signed for? I think he is in the last year of his contract. But I could be wrong about that.

I think we keep smith and make him lose about 30 pounds. OLB anyone. roflmao

$1.75 and a shrimp po-boy!

I would stop worrying about the cap for a few reasons.


1.Once we got under the cap we can not go over it again.

2. 3M under means we have zero room to work.

3. It's impossible at this point to know what Loomis can/would make room for.

While
I can understand why everyone would like to know, we are all merely guessing from this point on.


However if it helps you right now we have 3M to work with..... 3m not counted as that is what margin we want to start the season with.

ESPN estimates we are about $1.85m under the cap.
