Does anyone know what cap space we have available after our 3 FA signings? Are we pretty much out of the running for anymore "big names" after EJ?

I think you may see a larger offer to Wright ($2.5-3M/yr), but then the maybe a couple of guys who are willing to make $1M/year, kind of like Huff last season.

I think they will sign some free agents after everything cools down a bit. Some free agents are not getting any offers at all and can be had for bargain prices in early April. Not big names but vets that can contribute and add depth.l

Maybe Graves has something up his sleves, because the numbers doesn't add up IMO. He stated that the team only had $15M to spend on outside FAs before the new cap limit. The cap increase by $9M, so there should be about $24M to spend.

Am I wrong?

Actually, the CBA increased the 2006 cap from $94.5MM to $102MM= approx. $7MM increase, not $9MM.
