After seeing this video
http://www.csnne.com/video_content_type/borges-not-buying-revis-returning-under-current-deal
I started to tweet to Ron Borges and Gary Tanguay about the Patriots salary cap. Gary then asked me what would be the Patriots 2015 adjusted cap number.
I then answered that
Projected 2015 Pats adjusted cap =
142m league cap (Have heard that it will be between $140m and $144m - decided to split the difference)
plus 5m rollover (A better estimate is probably $5.5m)
minus 3.75m (LTBE/NLTBE reconciliation). This is a conservative estimate as some NLTBE incentives are within reach of being earned by some players. Wilfork could earn a 500K incentive if the Pats finish in the Top 10 in points allowed and he continues to play in more than 70% of the defensive snaps. Brandon Browner has up to 1.25 million in incentives whose trigger levels are unknown. Browner played in 43.5 of the defensive snaps in 2013 for the Seahawks. He has played in 45.1% of the snaps so far in 2014. The last 4 games he has averaged 98.1%.
equals $143.25 million
