Skins need to free up cap room

Cap Sheets Reconciliation

Patten - $2.3M extra
Arch - $2.2M extra
Frost - $500K incremental
Wade - $400K incremental
Yoder - $300K incremental
Tucker - $200K incremental
Boschetti - $200K incremental
Jimoh - $50K extra


Total - $6.15M extra
Starting cap room - $9.7M
Remaining cap room - about $3.55M (I have us at $3.8M)

Possible changes:
- Patten's bonus - As I stated in an earlier post, it is possible the $3M SB due this year is not guaranteed, which would add $3M to our cap space. Plus he may have been designated a June 1 cut which would push more money to 2008.

- Wade signing bonus - NFLPA reports it as a 3-year deal. I haven't seen a signing bonus for him yet, but whatever it is, divide it by 3.

- Stoutmire - signed a 1-year deal.

Thanks for the info! I'm think they cut him so the didn't have to pay that to him.

Can someone please post a link to CC's cap space page. I want to put it up as a resource on my Blog.

if there was a 3 mil roster bonus for patten, and it was not part of the signing bonus, then we should be sitting pretty. Also JLC and PFT had some bad info on wades contract, so that should add some more space to what I said earlier. Sorry, this thread was actually pointless, I didnt have the write info on Patten or Wade. But nonetheless, I think a great move would be to try to get Collins to go for the vet min, that way even though his paycut is only half a mil, the cap cut is one mil and we dont have to sign any more players. And we are obviously going to restructure Wynn's contract.

I did another update today (3/24).

- I changed Patten's deadcap hit from $5.3M to $2.3M. This is more consistent with what others have been reporting.

- I added the signing bonus for Wade ($3.5M as reported by PCinOZ).

This brings our current cap room to $5.5M.

so if the skins really want Dre Bly, there is cap room. does anyone here think that is going to happen?

This brings our current cap room to $5.5M.$5.5 plus a close to league min Stoutmire signing?

Not bad at all.

I would use some of our late round picks to add TE and OL depth, and just generally try to find players who could add wrinkles to our offense.

Brian Leonard is a prospect that intrigues me, but we probably won't be in position to draft him. One thing that the late rounds are very good for is picking up quality RB depth. I wouldn't be opposed to adding a RB and carrying 4 into the season.
