Thank you for the link...
some observations..

- all the teams in out devision are in very good to OK shape salary cap wise, things will only get tougher.
-The Titans are out of cap purgatory which is amazing considering where they were 2 years ago.
-the steelers and the Colts are NOT in very good situations, cuts are restructuring will be needed for them to improve.
-why is Carolin in such a bad shape?
- and the Redskins are in deep S***

Confirming previous reports...

The Colts are ****ed. Polian better win it this year or it's all over.

There's no way they're going to bring back all of the following starters who are all UFAs:

LG Ryan Lilja
RG Jake Scott
TE Ben Utecht
RDE Dwight Freeney
SLB Rob Morris
WLB Cato June
LCB Nick Harper
RCB Jason David

28 Baltimore Ravens $5.7 M

They might not be able to franchise Thomas. If he can play in Ryan's 3-4 he can play here and he can play all 4 LB spots.

I would be pumped if they could get him. They would get young and have an immediate impact player all at once.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

It occurs to me that these numbers are only semi-meaningful on their own. We need another column stating the number of players under contract for 2007. E.g. $30 mil under the cap is pretty huge if you only have to fill 5 holes, but nothing if you have to fill out half your roster!

12 New England Patriots $26.98 M

13 Chicago Bears $26.9 M

14 New Orleans Saints $26 M

15 San Diego Chargers $24.6 M


That's frightening almost...the 2 best AFC teams and the 2 best NFC teams all have a lot of $ to spend.

Exactly what I was going to say! And it would be even better if it also showed how many of the players under contract were projected starters...often big cap hits are being taken up by players who are no longer even with the team, or are not productive but are more expensive (under the cap) to cut than to keep.

Yep, what you guys said. Also, some could (currently) be affected by guys with inflated back-loaded deals which everybody knows will be restructured, if those players are to play for the team.

The Chargers GM is a very VERY good GM probably does a good a job as Pioli but goes unnoticed. The Patriots cap number will go up a bit more with some money transferring over from this past season to next and a couple of restructures that i know are going to happen.

We'll probably well over 30 million and have plenty of money to play with.
