Thanks JS. According to Miguel's cap page we are only $3.9 million under the cap. I'm not sure what they can do with so little cap room. I'm also not sure that the front office believes that they need to give up draft picks right now.
We could use some help on the O-line and we definately could use some help in our defensive backfield. I just don't know if anyone is available in either position.

Hardly anything happens during this trade deadline, unlike the baseball and basketball deadlines. Although I would love to see Tony Gonzalez here. I seriously doubt it happens. Plus I think we need more help in the secondary and offensive line.

I'm wondering if a shuffle in the O-Line and the return of our vacationing - um - rehabilitating linemen might be enough to shape up the line.

Sure would love to see a #3 TE (despite my earlier thoughts this didn't matter).

We also need other receivers who can get deep to leave the safety unsure of where to swing. We could trade like, 47 receivers for Gonzalez and LJ and start running 3 TE 2 RB formations on every play, heh. Or maybe get Faulk's passing skills warmed back up and go 3 TE's, 3 RB's... yeah...

I think in the past they were able to move the space to next year using some sort of logic if Spann throws for 3000 yards this year he'll get 3.9 million otherwise it will move to the year after.

ONLY $3.9M under the cap? This is NOT a constraint in signing or trading for players in October.

Can you elaborate on that? The cap is a bit mysterious...

That $4M has to only pay for PART of this season, so you could sign say a $7M salary contract this year player
