Cap Numbers`

[Kazkal]

Hobson spins it like were spending 130 million after signing Byrant that we wouldn't have enough money for bobbie & Roy...yet were at 85 Million..

Plenty of teams would be well below the salary floor

In 2009, each NFL team was required to spend $107 million on player salaries. In 2010, plenty of teams currently would be below the minimum, if there were one.

Indeed, seven franchises would be under $100 million, if there were a salary cap in place.

We've obtained the salary cap numbers that would apply if the cap were still in place. Based on the numbers, the following franchises are, to date, taking full advantage of the lack of a salary floor: the Chiefs ($79 million), the Buccaneers ($79 million), the Jaguars ($81 million), the Bengals ($85 million), the Cardinals ($91 million), the Rams ($92 million), the Bills ($98 million).

Five other teams currently are below last year's minimum.

Great point! But did we all really expect anything less from Mike Brown?

Look guys, they just don' have the money. they don't have it. they are just struggling to keep the towel service paid and ink in the copier machine. they just don't have the money.

SoP.

I am just glad they went and got a WR and have been active in the moves they've needed to make. Imagine if they just did nothing, which is often what they've done.

They could still have one of the lowest team budgets in the NFL.

I dont think the year has started yet, more contracts to sign and such. i mean they were above the floor last year- -what salary had been cut?

graham a couple million, coats 500,000. Tendered FAs. Rookies still need to sign. Does this number include bryant? Bobbie WIlliams close to signing.

Just wanna see Hall & Joseph resigned is all

PS,Maybe 4million given to T.O

Unless you have complaints with who's on the roster, what does it matter how much he's spending?

Last offseason and this one they've made good acquisitions. They've resigned all of their free agents except for Bobbie so far, plus they went out and got the best FA receiver available.

So who cares what they're spending? As long as they're bringing in quality players, I sure don't.

Mike's usually a forward thinker. He'll certainly be thinking long-term regardless of the absent cap this season.

So if you're mad about this now....it's because you want to be mad about something, and this will do.

My knock wasn't on Mr Brown because he went against what people thought he would do and spent money on another WR,My knock was on Hobsons spin saying that signing Byrant would effect resigning our own like Roy...I won't really worry about Joseph & hall until next summer if Joseph is slapped with a franchise tag instead of a long term deal.
