HoosierCat Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Thought this was worth posting for future reference if only because of the note in bold.http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/Comme...nolds022006.htmOperating under the assumption that, as Upshaw put it, a new deal was “doubtful,” here are the current players and bystanders based on up-to-date salary-cap data provided by an NFL club.

Stripes Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 There's a whole lotta money there for our Bengals... I hope they make a push for at least one quality free agent... Just one.I'm surprised to see the Seahawks in such good shape. They may be in a good position to end the recent trend of Superbowl losers having terrible seasons. Other than them, we appear to be in the best shape among the playoff teams (tied with Jacksonville). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hey Joisey???? Where was Hob's getting his numbers??? These seem more generous????Hobs claims to have relied on "published figures culled from a variety of sources." In other words, who knows? PFW's numbers jibe with most non-Hobson accounts I've seen, tho. And they would suggest that even if you knock off money for RFA tenders and rooks and even $3-4 million or so for the cushion the Bengals always carry into the season, the team should have $7-8 million for extensions and FA, not the $4 million Hobs estimated.

Whur CHad At? Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Thanks Joisey, you are da man dude.I knew Hobson was full of s**t here. $17 mil, baby get me a new Cadilac, and a big time pass rusher DE baby. Can you say Darren Howard/ John Abraham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 The Bengals won't chase anyone at Abraham's price level guys; they never do, no matter what the cap situation, as it runs counter to the front office's philosophy. But what having eight bills or so to work with ought to mean is that they can get one or two o-line extensions done and still have enough to go after a top-caliber option at a relatively inexpensive position like safety (i.e. Archuleta). Howard? Depends on where he falls in FA. If the DE market is scanty his price tag will probably be too high...and with Vanden Bosch resigned in Tennessee and Abraham awaiting the tag, his value is only going up.

HoosierCat Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 A note from schecter @ nfl.com...INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 24, 2006) -- -- At a time when most teams are struggling to get under the NFL's salary cap, the Detroit Lions have just hit The Powerball.This week, maybe the most optimum week, the Lions were granted a preposterous $11.75 million salary-cap credit due to a playtime incentive that defensive tackle Shaun Rogers failed to reach last season.So to update the above chart a bit the Lions are now about $22 million beneath the cap...meaning the entire NFCN is about $80 million under the cap collectively...
