The long term contract isnt an extension, Jimmy isnt under a present contract to extend.

A new multi-year contract that he would agree to signing would give him more than 7m signing bonus and could very easily give him a lower cap figure.

In lieu of our recent additions that appear to equal a sum greater than our cap space, Jimmy's contract will be giving us more space.

Spotrac showing 4.4m in cap space with out Bailey, Bush, Haralson counting for some reason. Haralson ?, Bailey 3.5m/year, Bush 2.25m/year = 5.75m

Overthecap showing 1.7m cap space, not showing Bailey but is showing Haralson... and Bush's numbers are incorrect.

So honestly HTF knows where we stand on cap space at the moment.... I know we get the hammer of we go over, but haven't seen where Loomis is making the space.

Makes you wonder exactly how close they are to getting a deal done...

In the words of Pat Kerwin, there is no "close", the deal is either done or not. Quite often they can get 98 of 100 items taken care of very quickly, but those last 2 can kill it or make the negotiations drag on until zero hour .

Last 2 is usually guaranteed money # and terms of the guarantee.

Exactly...There must be some progress or there'd be more sword rattling than just what the media has produced...
