Current cap situation

[24fanforlife]

With the signings today where does that leave our salary cap as of right now?

I would have to imagine very very thin but that was before the DRC signing LOL so obviously someone is very talented and creative in the FO.

they haven't even released doom, mcgahee, kuper, or mays (whats that like 17 mill)
manning said hes open to restructuring..
so if they wanted to do all of the above
we could have some more guys come in for next two years...to try an wrap up a sb run

Do you have an article or source for this?

I saw somebody post that in the free agent rumor one, with a source...forgot

Cutting Mays might help with the DRC signing, assuming that is the move foreshadowed with the Sheldon addition.

John Elways says we're fine cap wise

[LegionOfVonDoom]

something everyone needs to remember is taht we can be over the cap right now. there is a date when we have to be under the salary cap, I'm not sure when that is. This does not mean we have 17 mill left, it doesn't mean we don't either. Just stating we do not have to be under the cap at this moment. cuts might be needed to be made just to get under the cap now.

someone correct me if i am wrong.

im not saying we are 17 mill under...im saying we have 17 mill in cuts to make still...so lets say we are even right now...we definetly aren't over the cap...don't know how much each contract counted against cap...but sure we aren't at 0 or less

yeah im not sure how that works. we must have money at least for signing draft picks.

Well if we look at the signings

Vazquez 4y 23.5 5.875/y
Welker 2y 12. 6/y
Knighton 2y 4.5 2.25/y
Vick 2y 5 2.5/y
Bradley 1y 1.1 1.1/y
DRC 1y 5 5/y
Bruton 3y 4.5 1.5/y


So my math has 24.225m spent this year on FA, however 6 was offset by DJ, so 18.225m this year.

The #Broncos' salary cap is ''in good shape,'' according to team V.P. of football operations @JohnElway.

Just giving a worst case scenario

Just giving a worst case scenario

fair enough lol
but we were at 14 mill (after dj gone)
im guessing we did 10-12mill for the year cap wise
none of those signings will hurt us
we will take those 5mill drc got and give it to decker
baileys money will help pay von and dt in the future
