I thought part of the new CBA was teams had to spend something like 89-91% of their cap allotment. Has that not started yet?

It starts with this league year, I believe.

But that does not mean a team has to blow all of their space now. They can wait until the end of the league year and extend players. They do not have to spend it on free agents now.

It actually doesnt go into effect until the 2014 league year. So the spend thrift teams get one more year. Its why you dont hear guys complaining too much about contracts this year, because they know that everyone gets paid starting next year.

why do the include cents .00 ? Is someone $4,000,362.28 under the cap?

A little easier to read.

The Packers will have less than us after the Clay and Arod deals do through..

Fuckin Bengals... playoffs two years in a row, yet sitting on all that money.

Not that this free agent class is all that.... but they haven't even resigned their best OL yet (A. Smith).

Mike Brown is basically Jerry Jones, an owner who insists he knows better than everyone and won't hire a GM. Only difference is Mike Brown is incredibly cheap.

Nobody else seems to want the guy either though. That tends to happen when you have the label as fat and unmotivated. He's definitely a threat to eat himself out of the league once he gets a big contract, which is why I think nobody really wants to ante up for him.

Saw where the Niners just broke the bank to sign Anthony Davis to a new longterm deal. That's kinda interesting because at one point last year in training camp the word was he might not even keep his starting job. Motivation questions have always hung over him too, now that he got his big payday, he might regress badly.

I think it's a cash floor, not just cap floor. Cap floor wouldn't do the players any good at all because you'd have SBs counting to years that were well after they were paid.

Also, it's a rolling figure where teams have to be at the floor when looked at over a 4 year span.

I think the Bengals should roll over as much as they can and if Dalton continues to improve they should take a massive cap hit during the first year of his contract.

If they have 25M this year, by the time Dalton is up for a contract they could be over $30M. If instead of giving a signing bonus they just gave him a ridiculous base salary for a single season, they'd have the rest of his contract at low cap prices and after the first year they'd probably recover about 2/3rds of that space.

Yeah but Daltons not going to continue to improve because he mostly sucks.

Fuck. We wish we were the Bengals.

Thats how bad this team has it right now.

The deon rule says you can't give a guy a super base salary one year and then have lower base pay throughout. What you can do is provide a onetime roster bonus instead of high base pay.
