1.) The NFLPA public salary cap report
https://nflpa.com/public-salary-cap-report now covers the 2015 season
2.) It appears that the NFLPA report has not yet adjusted for reached NLTBE incentives or unreached LTBE incentives from the 2014 season. Example, Vollmer's 2015 $1.75 million playing-time incentive is now LTBE for the 2015 season.
3.) The biggest change during the BB era in how the Patriots construct their contracts is the increased use of 46-man active roster bonuses. In the beginning (2000-2004) there were very few, if any, such clauses. Now most veterans have them. 15 of 21 in 2015.
4.) Revis has the highest cap number of any cornerback in 2015. Vollmer has the highest cap number of any right tackle in 2015. Gronkowski has the 3rd highest cap number of any tight end in 2015. Mayo - 2nd of any ILB. Wilfork - 5th highest of any defensive tackle.
5.) If the cap is crap, how does one explain how the Steelers who played the two worst divisions (NFC South and AFC South) and was among the healthiest teams in the league (4 players on IR) was not able to construct a Super Bowl winning team this year?
6.) Doubt that any other team has two players with weight clauses as does the Patriots.
7.) Blog post that I wish that I had time to complete before today's game - why the Mankins trade was the right move for 2014 and for the future.
