Bengals Salary Cap Breakdown

Recommended Posts

OK guys, I ran across this page of the Bengals salary cap, with individual players contracts, the whole team, and broken down by position plus free agency. Check it out, the guy who did this really busted ass getting it together. He goes by the name Phatcat at one of our brethren sites, Go-Bengals. He said he encourage us to check it out since the more we as a fan base know, the better off we really are. Enjoy!

Bengals Salary Cap Broken Down

I take it on faith that the numbers are accurate. If so, consider the bargain that Chris Henry and Tab Henry are. Also Reggie Kelly at 1.2 million base salary? For a tight end that can't catch. Yep, I'll eat my words on knuckle head Henry. Keep him.

***update***

Updated the Salary Cap page. USA Today finally came out with the 2005 Salary Database for all NFL teams/players. I use this to help set up each players contracts, specifically how the Bonus dollars are structured and allocated. All in all nothing really changed, with a projected $10.1MM under the cap.

Also, I was playing around with the Salary Cap for '07 and did a "what if" analysis to determine what we could afford / not afford for '07 in terms of players salary - enlight of all the discussion around signing the Oline. I made a ton of assumption, but tried to err to the high side to fill out the roster. See What If '07 tab on the Go-Bengals Salary Cap

I added all of the '06 Draft picks using a projected 2nd year contract numbers:

Joseph: $1.8MM

Whitworth: $800K

Rucker: $700K

Peko: $600K

Nicholson: $500K

McNeal or Brazell: $400K

Kilmer: $400K

Resigned the following RFA's:

Andrews: $1.2MM

LJohnson: $1.2MM

Geathers: $1.2MM

Askew or Smith: $800K

Larson: $820K

Resigned the following Exclusive Rights RFA's:

Meyer: $400K

Wilkerson: $400K

Body: $400K

Jeanty: $400K

Resigned the following UFA's:

Anthony Wright: $1.2MM

Reggie Kelly: $2MM

Levi Jones: $8MM

Eric Steinbach: $7MM

Kaesviharn: $1MM

Filled out the remaining roster – with '07 draft picks

Bottom line we still have $10MM in cap space even after signing Steiny and Levi to huge contracts.

Diden't know Geathers went up in 2006.... wonder if he returns sense it was just blurb but he dident seem happy about being moved too pass rusher and thought he still could be 3down DE (which I agree because he was only 2 down one last year =P preatty much with DT on passing

Cap savings if cut?

John Thornton - $ 2,000,000

Brian Simmons - $ 1,740,000

Tory James - $ 4,075,000 :jawdrop:

simmons making $1.74 mill is cheap. sick of ppl that think he should be cut when he has been the most solid, consistent of players for years for us. haters.

thornton is the only one i see that could go that has big money...doubt it though.

james aint gettin cut, and $4.075 mill isnt bad for a corner who did what hes done the last 2 years. hes got another year or 2 left.

No surprise here; supercat has had a number very close to that sitting on his site forever (see http://bengalsjungle.com/salariesdb.html ). It's the final year of his deal, so naturally it's going to be a large number.

I agree, it's tough to keep him around at that price, given his age, declining performance, and the fact they just spent a first on a corner. I think they probably do, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't, either.

Nice... this is more up to date than the site I've been checking.

Hey... it doesn't look like we'll be cutting Carson Palmer any time soon.

It also looks like they haven't updated the Willie signing... so the $6 mil under isn't completely accurate... but we should still have enough to re-sign Justin during the season if we so desired.

Well, that was weird. I thought I was reading a new thread...yet I somehow stumbled across a post I had written. And then another. And each had that same creepy guy with the red eye and the flaming wig as my avatar.

It was almost like that Star Trek episode where the Enterprise passes itself just as it enters a wormhole, and the whole hole thing is so upsetting that Dr. Beverly Crusher freaks out and shows everybody her boobies and her flaming orange.....

Who Dey.
