We’ve officially gone from “OMG, what are we going to do about cap space” to now wondering “OMG, what the heck are we planning to do with all this cap space?!”

Every year.

I feel like the Godchaux restructure is just Loomis being salty with the fan base and letting everyone know he's not going anywhere and not changing a damn thing LOL. Doing it because he can.

Question? Cap space in main thread or thread title correct?

Question? Cap space in main thread or thread title correct?

Yes, the current cap space, of the updated cap hits officially counted on cap sites, is in thread title.

The cap space including all of the cap hits that haven’t been officially counted yet is at the top of the OP.

There are still some OL out there and CBs that they could use and Kenan Allen would make a lot of sense on a one year deal. But I doubt the deals out there would match the amount of space created. It may be that they worked these deals in anticipation of signing Ward and/or Kupp and when that didn't happen the money was still there. But, they don't have to spend it, they could just roll it over into next year.

They usually only create the space they need for specific deals, but maybe they are changing how they do things.

Yes, that's why I never worry about the cap. It seems to be a fixable issue.

I'm more concerned about drafting good players and doing well in FA, UDFA. That's what makes or breaks a team.

Cleveland for many years had loads of cap space and never went anywhere

If we don't use for players then let's hope we get new contracts sorted for Rasheed and Alontae.

Around $28,934,532 cap space after the new signings, Chase Young’s new cap #, Wilson’s new cap #, and Mathieu’s new cap # are counted

$1,670,000 cap savings

Why are they trimming the cap with a fine toothed comb? Why is having 32 mil under is better than having 31 mil under? Why kick Cedric Wilson can right now? Due diligence or something else?

All the while smacking that gum.

Chark is too small to play LG but he’s fast, he’d be really good at pulling.

OK Good one LOL

it appears cedrick took a pay cut not just a can kick.
