8-5-13 Cap space

[BullheadCardFan]

– Random note: Prior to Tuesday’s roster moves (which are unlikely to impact the salary cap anyway), the Cardinals had $5.76 million in salary cap space.

Per Urban.

Next year, after our bazillion 1 and done contracts go away, we're going to have stacks of cash to burn.


Or I should I say, we'll have a tidy sum to spend on other guys, once we allocate 2/3rds of it to pay Larrys salary.


I love Larry, but hes a WR getting paid like a franchise QB. Cmon man.

Worth every penny!

Larry's going to make $82 million next year!??!??!!

The Cards could pay Larry and still have enough money to pay every player on the team a $2million salary.

If you want to complain about $$ just look at what Levi Brown and Daryn Colledge count against the cap.

We're setting ourselves up to be in a very good cap position next season. I'd assume Levi and Colledge will be released by then and even though well have plenty of one year contracts that well have to look at re signing, we also won't have any long contracts that handcuff us a la darryn Colledge or Adam Snyder

Isn't there something like $12 million in dead money for those two this season and over $8 million next year?

 

[BigRedRage]

Larry will be restructuring in the next year or two anyway.

So can someone tell me why we cut Schofield?

So can someone tell me why we cut Schofield?

Because he wasn't going to make the team?

Because he wasn't any good.

Bowles seemingly agrees with the Parcells/Belichick line of thinking and likes big OLB's.
Acho 6'3 257
Okafor 6'4 260
Shaughnessy 6'5 285
Alexander 6'1 244

That's a pretty sizeable group of OLB's. Our OLB's are bigger than our ILB's, which seems a bit odd to me. The inside guys, other than Washington, are more stout though.

Re: Schofield

I think the Cardinals released him, not only because it didn't look like he was going to play much, but because they didn't want to risk him getting injured again in TC and have to eat the remaining $1.4M on his contract.

Most OLBs are bigger than the ILBs. They either need to be around 260 or guys like Alexander and Harrison with Pittsburgh. They have to be bigger to take on the Tackles.

ILBs are usually in the 230-240 range. They are also usually not as tall as the 3-4 OLBs. Bowman, Willis, Washington, Bobby Wagner, all around 6'1" 230.
