machine gun kelly Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Well until these last contracts are done, we have $27 mil. Approximately. Now that doesn’t count who we cut, so maybe more or less. If you think about the draft we need usually about $7 mil for the draft, if we bundle maybe a little less, and they usually want $5-7 mil. For an emergency fund, so without the last signings, we’re talking about $13-15 mil. I don’t see that but could be wrong enough to extend White, Dawkins, or Milano, but could be wrong as many have informed me before. ?. It might make sense to get a couple of role players at best or no one and draft. Then have something for next year so we can extend these guys. Cap space will go up as you guys know we’re going to cut a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have preferred 30 but hey go for it while you have a good team in place. I think 20 million allows you to front load White, Dawkins, and Milano's potential deals with ease. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBennett Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Nice having a GM that can manage a cap, get good players here WITHIN that cap, look forward to the next new/big contracts and the ability to let guys walk if they are too much $$. Plus they have drafted decently. And now if something goes on they have IN SEASON cap room to make moves. Remember ***** GM's and teams that were close to the cap but GARBAGE as a team...the only reason you should ever be cap tight or even close to it and suck is catastrophic injuries to a otherwise good/playoff caliber team... But if you're a team that just sucks and you're a 5-10-7-9(at best) team and you're cap tight OR lets switch gears and you're a league worst bottom 5 or 8 team like say the Sabres and cap tight that reaks of INCOMPETENCE in GM and Ownership/management. a bottom feeder thats cap tight is run by a incompetent GM/management team. and by the opposite a playoff caliber team thats got 15-30+ million left to use is very well run...normally if youre very competitive youre close to the cap(within 5 million or less) if youre a playoff team and you got 20 million+ youre in good!

They have a 5th year option on White, they can work out an extension after 2020. But I think they should look to lock up either Dawkins or Milano now so that they don't have to worry about having 2 possibly critical free agents. I think also having one "priced into" your 2021 cap is helpful in terms of what to pay Tre and the other one. The only good thing about the 2018 draft is that 2 out of 3 possibly key free agents (Edumonds, Allen, and Henry) have 5th year options. So they are locked in for 3 more seasons. Really the issue in terms of extensions was and is Milano and Dawkins short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I thought $54 mill was a bit high i had read they were around $20 + mill after all the signings but if they have $33 mill thats better yet it gives Beane some more to work with if you figure from what i've read some where around $8 million for the rookie class .

Yup. Incidentally those figures do not include the contracts for Taiwan Jones, Dean Marlowe and Tyler Matakevich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
