Palmer and Abraham hit incentives. 2014 cap space decreases $1.375M

– Numbers guru Brian McIntyre reported today that QB Carson Palmer earned an extra $1 million for his 2014 salary (I’d assume for reaching performance incentives) and now will make $9 million in 2014 with an $11 million cap hit, raising each number by that aforementioned million and shaving another million off the Cardinals’ current cap space

– Along those same lines, linebacker John Abraham earned an extra $375,000 for 2014, raising his 2014 salary to $2.875M.

So if correct that's $1.375M less we have to work with this year. Not Good!

It sucks, but I am glad they performed so well

So Palmer hit the INT incentive?

You figure those picks would have evened it out some, I bet Palmer's Agent knows exactly what to look for and exclude in the incentive department.

Shoulda benched their asses

Winston had incentives for starting IIRC so did that hit 2013 CAP or 2014?

It might hurt the cap but I have no regrets about them earning it and they freaking deserve it

Never going to complain about players doing well for my team.

 

[Shane]

Cut RW and it makes up 80% of that

 

[GatorAZ]

Abraham deserved it.

Boomer Esiason agrees!

****ing Keim. He's so worthless in his talent evaluation and signing players to fair contracts. I blame him for Leinart and Levi exclusively.

Yep , if only we had not won 7 of those last 9 games , we wouldn't be in this cap problem .

We are now $5.6m under

 

[GuernseyCard]

With escalators now in, we are at $3.4m under the CAP

Man that's scary low because we need to sign several FA's just to get to a roster of 53.

I'm sure they have a plan so it will be interesting to see how they get it done.
