Cap set @ 143.28 million

[Dan H]

So how do we look, then?

Darren Urban ‏@Cardschatter
#AZCardinals carrying over about $4.2 million of cap space from 2014. So with new salary cap, overall Cards' cap for 2015 is about $147.5M.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Should give us about $12M to work with.

 

[earthsci]

Peterson or Suh (or Bush)? Glory signings but the first two really might be worth it in the end.

 

[football karma]

urban just tweeted the Cards cap is $148.5 mm

Add roughly $1M and you have around $15M in cap room right now.

Nice. That's a good amount to find a few solid players that the cards need

When did Peterson become a FA?

They do not figure in the additional $900k that Massie is receiving in 2015.

When did Peterson become a FA?

Even in a trade we would need to have the money to sign Adrian Peterson.

He's under contract...

He's under contract...

Yes. I understand. That's why we have to trade for him. I don't think that we would do it without a sign and trade.

Excellent analysis, but there is risk to continually converting base to bonus to free up immediate cap savings. If we did all that, would we essentially be in a go all out now and then blow it up and be in cap hell later mode? There could be some rough years ahead if we keep constantly deferring cap numbers for all our players.
