The Patriots' cap was increased by $1,834,466. I had been projecting that it would increase by about $3.5 million. More players must have reached more NLTBE incentives than I thought.
And that does not have the signing of TE Carter?
You mean Chris Baker.
So is this from your page the closest estimate of the cap space given what you know now, at this time?
So I have the Pats under their adjusted cap by about $18.3 million.
And that does not have the signing of TE Baker?
Yes. I am still waiting to find how much the salaries of Watson,Wilfork, Mankins, Hobbs, Kaczur, LeKevin Smith, David Thomas, O'Callaghan were increased by earned escalators.
Miguel, I just looked at your salary cap page and it appears that most of contracts for the players on this team are up after this season.
The Patriots have A LOT of work to do, IMO. Do you think that there might be more trades in the future?
30 of the current 49 but the Pats will probably have 12 draft picks in addition to whatever other free agents they decide to bring in so that number won't look quite as danting. With the uncertainty with the cba, I think teams need to stockpile draft picks. I think you will find the Pats ahead of the game once again in that dept. In addition they will probably work out extensions with Wilfork and Mankins asap and possibly Seymour. I read somewhere that the Wilfork talks already started.
Baker's deal is reportedly for 5 yrs and $14 mil. Is that the figures you have Miguel?
Yup, I corrected it as you posted. I don't know why I think of him as Carter.
I have not seen any numbers. What is your source?? I like it to have it for my documentation.

Miguel, for someone that half understands the cap and half doesn't
If we re-signed the 3 most crucial ones, which are Wilfork, Mankins and Gostkowski in my opinion, how much of the available cap room would this take up?
Lets say they all got top 5 for their position money, how much cap room would be left before draftees were signed?
Thanks
Being that O'Callaghan was on the IR, do you think that he reached any escalators?
