Yea, but have you looked at the free agent market? All these teams have $30M+ in cap space, with only a few players worthy of top dollar available. Seems to me they're all going to drive the prices up (substantially) on the top free agents, and the losers will have a large chunk of unused cap space. Because of the lack of top level players at certain positons (DB), some mid-level guys could come at a price not entirely accurate to their value, as well.
Honestly, this is a good year to have just enough cap space to make some moves, and a bunch of first day draft picks (there's some good depth at RB, CB, DE/OLB, and OT in this 2008 class).
Is this 17.4 million under cap still with Stallworth on the team, or is this with him being cut?

I'm guessing this 17+ doesn't count incentives, as Miguel's page does not yet account for it, and that's roughly the # he comes up with. So there's a lot to account for - incentives (-), re-structuring/extending players (-), Moss signing (-).
But basically, we're going to have somewhere in the range of 10 mill to look at FAs.
The problem is...what is out there? It's garbage. Hooray for the Jags and Chargers and all the other good teams with a bunch of cap space, good luck finding players to improve your team.
Honestly, I'm looking for CBs & LBs via free agency but come up blank. Other than hoping for a Ty Law return, I'm not really sure where we'll spend the cap space we have.
The Chargers have all 22 starters from last year signed for 2008, so they are not really looking for much.
If they'd like to do better than last year they may want to think about attempting to improve upon their roster (starters included).

It wasn't a knock on them at all, merely a statement on free agency, SD's def in good shape. You guys should wrap up your players long term and put some of that money into this season.
