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.
