Re: Salary Cap Analysis
Quote:
I think Gibbs has an advantage in a strike season because he's such a team builder. During a strike, most players are thinking about their wallets and the labor issues, but Gibbs' players seem to think more about playing together, working hard, and staying together as a team. It's these kinds of situations when "character guys" really pay off. We still have an uphill battle this year, and we can only go as far as our QB takes us (whether it's Brunell or Campbell). And the labor situation might be resolved in the next few weeks. But you definitely can't count Joe Gibbs out in any season.

Re: Salary Cap Analysis
"It may have already been posted, but, as far as I know, my man Dan ponied up his own jack for land and stadium. That makes him signifigantly more invested than most other owners, as stadiums are mostly funded by cities. I don't know the details of the owners proposal, but all things cannot possibly be equal. It is beyond me how you can apply an equal equation for sharing?"
Im sure that Dan's attornies will see that his handicap is rather large. If you catch my drift. You get to be creative when your franchise is worth over a billion. Say for example, joining the Cowboys with a guaranteed Thanksgiving Game every year. Or local television rights would be a big one. |

Re: Salary Cap Analysis

Less Rule of 51: ($4.8 million) Plus Dead Cap: $3.57 million Increase in Min Base Sal due to CBA: ~ $2 million Salary Cap Total Before Recent Moves: $117.3 million NFL Salary Cap Limit: $102 million Actual Cuts - Cap Savings: Brandon Noble - $1.7 million Walt Harris - $2 million Matt Bowen - $2 million Corey Raymer - $1 million Tom Tupa - $600 K Lavar Arrington - $4.4 million Total Cap Savings from Cuts: $11.7 million Salary Cap $ Scheduled in 2006 after Cuts: $105.6 million Roster Bonuses Restructured - Cap Savings Sean Taylor: $1.8 million Clinton Portis: $2.5 million Casey Rabach: $1.5 million Shawn Springs: $2.5 million Cornelius Griffin: $2.0 million Marcus Washington: $1.9 million Chris Samuels: $3.7 million Total Cap Savings from Roster Bonus Restructures: $15.9 million Salary Cap $ Scheduled in 2006 after Cuts, Trades, Post June 1 Cuts, and Roster Bonus Restructures: $87.7 million 2006 Cap: $102 million Expected Cap Room before Trading Ramsey: $15.3 million When we trade Ramsey: $1.7 million Total Cap Room Available for 2006: $17 million The tendering of our RFAs and the resigning of Rock Cartwright are not included in these numbers. This analysis does not include any restructures of base salary which may have occurred. These would create even more cap room. If you know of any, please post them and I will update.

Some other factors: - salary mins have increased which will reduce the cap room. - option bonuses due in 2006 can now be prorated 5 years instead of 4 which increases the cap room. - you added $4.4M in savings for Lavar, but you didn't include his $12M deadcap charge. His net deadcap charge will be around $8M ($12M - $4M). I'm gonna try to get some new cap sheets up in the next few days even if I have to make a bunch of assumptions. EDIT: Sorry just realized you did factor in the salary min increases into your calculations. |

Sorry that was confusing, I should have broken his dead money out after he got cut. I'm sure you've been trying to come across cap figures for the new contracts, I know I have been and it's pretty much impossible at this point. One thing's certain, we can prorate the signing bonuses over 5 years. And then knowing the Skins, it's probably safe to assume that the base salaries are set at the vet minimum in the early years of the contract.

Re: Salary Cap Analysis
Ok now I see how you handled Lavar.
Ya finding contract info is tough. For the next update I'll have to make some assumptions. Once the dust settles in the next couple weeks, it should be easier to find more accurate numbers. |

Re: Salary Cap Analysis
generally the contracts are vet min for 2 years, with 2mill a year in SB proration.
arch only gets 5$ in SB, and 1$mill in roster bonuses each year after the first. probably only spent ~11$ mill so far on players. though after the draft we might move some money forward (from future base salaries). base salary restructures would only make sense for jansen, brunell, and thomas. brunell is least likely since he'll be cut in the next couple years. |
