How much will our 1st round pick cost towards the salary cap?

Do we have the cap space to cut Jansen if he looses out to someone?

an23dy

Just give it to Haynesworth, so the FO doesn't do something dumb like get another TE or trade Campbell.

an23dy

Release fee for Jansen is a little over $6 million. I don't think we have that space or would want to cut him rather than just leave him on the bench. I think I saw an article saying we had around $5 million in space before the draft, after signing H. Smith and Orakpo and the draft guys I don't see it even with an extra million. Maybe a little more room to pick up a Khary Campbell type.

The Goat

Hmmm...should be enough extra to lure Marcus back into the fold. We'll see.

Yeah but I think they have that much space and it makes me wonder why they have that much. Normaly they use it all except for about 2 mil, for the season.

I know a little about our cap situation, but a lot of my numbers are estimates, and I'm sure there are people that are more up to date than me. I think right now we have about 2 or 3 million in cap space. We had $5 million, then this one million added gives us $6 million, Hunter Smith is probably around $1 million, the rookies will probably be about $3 or $4 million. So that leaves maybe $2 or $3 million when you think about players dropping out of the top 51. Again all estimates on numbers I've seen in various places.

That's like saying I don't beat my kids so I'm a good person. You don't get credit for that. I mean we should have most picks every year. Good teams realize this. Just b/c we have all or most of them once or twice in a six or seven year span doesn't make it smart.

Also, we tried to give away some for Cutler and trade away some for Sanchez.

Ruhskins

Well our FO doesn't get any credit by the sports media or the fans when they do something good. So at least this is a start.

Do I wish that our FO would emulate some of the FO of successful teams? Yes. But I am not going to praise other FOs by mindlessly bashing our team's FO.

Last time I check, teams like Oakland and Detroit also have had a lot of their picks, yet they wish they had a record like ours in the past 5 years.

CC is that the cap space with the rookie cap subtracted ? So in effect we really have nigh on $9 mill in space ?

What are the possibilities of extending McIntosh and or Rogers?
