That's the $1.99M dollar discussion isn't it... Because that is all of the cap we have. There is no way out of it and a signing bonus will not get us anywhere as that is prorated over the life of the contract so an 8M bonus for a 4 year contract hits us with 2M this year.

We have almost $12M in roster bonus that can be immediately converted to signing bonus and free up around $8M in 2018 cap.

Thanks Guido, it’s been a while since I looked in detail at salary cap maneuvers.

Maybe there are actually two other gorillas in the tent?
- The Cardinals owner is on the record recently saying (fairly emphatically) he won’t trade Peterson. That could be nothing more than posturing to get a bigger offer, which would make the next item a little more of an issue.

- We have no 2019 1st, or 3rd pics... What are we willing to part with that would entice the Cardinals.
