Re: A little early, but: should the Patriots try to re-sign Wes Welker?

My total bad. I misread the article. Looks like $35m in cap space for next year.
I still wonder if it will be possible to dole out hefty signing bonuses to Talib , Vollmer, franchise WW, sign Woody, Edelman and whomever else that they want to bring in as a FA and draft picks...

According to Spotrac.com, the Patriots 2012 cap hit is at $106,632,966, which takes into account $94,491,221 of active contracts (base salaries and bonuses), $18,801,745 in dead money and $6,660,000 in cap rollover. With this year's salary cap at $120.6 million, this means the Patriots should carry over about $14 million in cap space next year.
NYJetscap.com, which projects future cap hits for all AFC east teams, projects the Patriots coming in at about $100 million against the cap in 2013. Considering the projected 2013 salary cap of $120.9 (per ESPN) and the possible $14 million the Pats can carry over into 2013, the Patriots should sit pretty comfortably at about $35 million under the cap.
