-- So, if Freeney doesn't sign before free agency opens, his total cap charges for 2007 will be $9,612,573 at that point (until either he signs a new contract or until the end of the free-aency period, when his tender amount will be recalculated). His cap charge right now is $1,485,285, so the Colts' cap room would be reduced by a net $8,127,288 (the tender amount of $8,644,000, minus the previously scheduled base salary of $1,001,000, plus the accelerated bonus charge of $484,288).
When does the extra money from the exclusive version of the tag get added to his cap charge?
What happens if, at the time this extra money is added, it forces the team over the hard cap.
(I know it would only happen if a team was in very deep trouble. I'm just curious).
