Salary cap and dead money

[cardpa]

Just looking at this and the Cardinals have the second highest amount of dead cap in the league for 2019. The Dolphins are first at $13.5M followed by the Cardinals at $10.5M with the Gmen third at $9.2M After that no one is above $5M except for Denver at $7.5M

I thought Keim was supposed to resolve the dead cap space. Seems like he hasn't gotten a handle on it yet. I guess his FA mistakes are catching up with him.

Right now they are projecting $45M in available cap to spend but that will quickly go down $10M or so with the resigning of Fitz. There is not too much cap space to use on many FAs.

10mil in dead cap aint that much. Im sure some of it is from cutting smith......and smith really needed to be cut

The cool thing about this site is you can play around with releasing and adding FAs to the roster.

Compared to how things were when he first took over the job, he most certainly has and keep in mind, half of this number involves 1-signing a year ago. Contracts are largely about structure, so there is no shortage of CAP space to meet FA wants and needs.

The $45m is after deducting the new Fitz deal.

My bad, could have sworn I saw him. Oh well

 

[cardpa]

I have no idea how up to date these figures are so it may be quite accurate or may be off by millions. Since Over the cap shows $61M and Spotrac shows $45m that's a difference of $16M which is more than Fitz contract of $11M so I wonder where the other $5M discrepancy is?

Perhaps one is costing Iupati and other not.

Larry usually gets a 5mil bonus on top of his 11mil base salary

OTC list the $3.7 for Iupati in the contracted players and left out Andre Smith;s $1.3 that sportract lists. I thing the $10.5 is right

 

[AZ Native]

I read that the 5 million this year is for incentives not a bonus.

This is from azcardinals.com "ESPN reported the deal was for $11 million plus incentives" but it does say "reported".

 

[PDXChris]

Cut Humphries and Gresham. That could free up $12 million more.

Gresham being the 6th highest paid player? Disgusting contract...cut him.

$3.5m CAP hit.

That said: they should renegotiate.

It's what OTC has listed as dead money.

They forgot to add Smith and Iupati. Iupati is NOT under contract this year, deal was reworked with this year being voided.

 

[POISON]

I was wondering the same thing

Cut Humphries and Gresham. That could free up $12 million more.

Gresham was listed for $8.2 million by himself this year. They need to cut him loose
