Bare bones number curtousy of the NFLPA (players association), rest from news sources like ESPN.
I'll organize this better later
*Some of these numbers do NOT include pro-rated signing bonus, performance bonuses, or roster bonuses. This is strictly base pay. Performance bonuses are retroactive, ie a players cap number for 2006 includes "expected bonuses" and then if he earns those bonuses they're applied retroactively to the 2006 cap, not the 2007 cap. Roster bonuses, I don't know how I can find them. I'll include what I can find, but they are not always publicized until they become an issue.
Joe Horn (7 million signing bonus)
2006 Salary - 2,795,000 (1.125 base + 1.167 pro-rated signing bonus)
2007 Salary - 6,120,000 (4.45 base + 1.167 pro-rated signing bonus)
Charles Grant
2006 Salary - 2,187,500
Brian Young (4 million signing bonus)
2006 Salary - 2,950,000 (2.95 base + 1.0 pro-rated signing bonus)
2007 Salary - 3,450,000 (2.45 base + 1.0 pro-rated signing bonus)
Hollis Thomas
2006 Salary - 710,000
Mike McKenzie (7 million signing bonus)
2006 Salary - 3,900,000 (1.5 base + 1.0 roster bonus + 1.2 pro-rated signing bonus)
2007 Salary - 4,400,000 (2.0 base + 1.0 roster bonus + 1.2 pro-rated signing bonus)
Drew Brees (8 million signing bonus)
2006 Salary - 3,200,000 (1.9 base + 1.3 pro-rated signing bonus)
2007 Salary - 4,100,000 (2.8 base + 1.3 pro-rated signing bonus)
**There is, what is refered to as, a "12 million dollar option bonus due Spring 2007". The question is, is this a bonus which is then pro-rated over the remaining 5 years? A roster bonus all due 2007? A straight bonus, not pro-rated, that we ate this season with our available cap room? I have no clue and can't find any info. Any help would be much appreciated since right now the above figures are potentially meaningless.
Scott Fujita
2006 Salary - 1,000,000
2007 Salary - 2,000,000
Jeff Faine *Trade - No signing bonus (Cleveland ate it)
2006 Salary - 538,750
2007 Salary - 701,250
Jason Craft
2006 Salary - 1,000,000
2007 Salary - 1,000,000
Fred Thomas (5 million signing bonus)
2006 Salary - 3,150.000 (1.9 base + 1.25 pro-rated signing bonus)
2007 Salary - 3,250,000 (2.0 base + 1.25 pro-rated signing bonus)
Deuce McAllister (7 million signing bonus)
2006 Salary - 3,825,000 (1.45 base + 1.5 roster bonus + .875 pro-rated signing bonus)
2007 Salary - 3,475,000 (2.6 base + .875 pro-rated signing bonus)
**There is another one of those vague "option bonus" for Deuce in 2006 worth 4 million. Fourtantly this one is less of an issue then for Brees. If it was like a roster bonus and not pro-rated, then it counts against this years cap and is gone. If it's a pro-rated bonus then it's only an extra 550,000 a year. It's main impact then would be in terms of being able to cut/trade him because of the number accelerating into 1 year.
Mark Simoneau *Trade - No signing bonus (Philly ate it)
2006 Salary - 1,100,000
2007 Salary - 950,000
Aaron Stecker (650k signing bonus)
2006 Salary - 1,162,000 (1.0 base + .162 pro-rated signing bonus)
2007 Salary - 1,412,000 (1.0 base + .162 pro-rated signing bonus)
Ernie Conwell
2006 Salary - 1,600,000
2007 Salary - 1,900,000
Josh Bullocks
2006 Salary - 350,000
2007 Salary - 385,000
Mark Campbell
2006 Salary - 600,000
2007 Salary - 950,000
Willie Whitehead
2006 Salary - 965,000
2007 Salary - 1,100,000
Jamar Nesbit
2006 Salary - 710,000
2007 Salary - 950,000
Michael Lewis
2006 Salary - 600,000
2007 Salary - 900,000
Just some I found interesting.
Thoughts
-Ernie Conwell will be gone next season.
-Aaron Stecker may find himself on the bubble.
-Mike McKenzie's base pay is much less then I thought it was. I was wrong (have to account for bonuses still though)
-Fred Thomas makes more the McKenzie in base pay (I do remember Thomas had a pretty small signing bonus though)
-Faine is suprisingly cheap. And since the Browns had to eat his whole signing bonus when they traded him, that's Faine's total price.
-I was wrong about Horn as well. I thought his contract escalated this season, not next.
