buffaloboyinATL Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2349505 Below is the amount of money each team is under or over the $92 million salary cap as of March 1. The current list of cap numbers does not include the salaries of restricted and exclusive-rights players. When teams find out what the value of those tenders will be, the cap number is expected to be adjusted before Thursday, adding $1 million or $2 million to the total number for each team. Please note, this list will change rapidly as teams begin cutting players over the next day to get under the salary cap by Thursday's 4 ET deadline (4 ET is the end of the NFL's business day and no player can be cut after the close of business). Under the salary cap Team Cap status (under) Minnesota Vikings $24 million Arizona Cardinals $21.8 million Cleveland Browns $21.5 million Green Bay Packers $21 million San Francisco 49ers $17.4 million San Diego Chargers $17.1 million Jacksonville Jaguars $14.2 million Philadelphia Eagles $14.2 million Baltimore Ravens $11.9 million Detroit Lions $10.6 million St. Louis Rams $10.6 million Seattle Seahawks $9.5 million Cincinnati Bengals $9 million New Orleans Saints $8.2 million Chicago Bears $7.8 million Houston Texans $4 million New York Giants $3.3 million Buffalo Bills $2 million New England Patriots $1.5 million Over the salary cap Team Cap status (over) Oakland Raiders $26 million Miami Dolphins $21.9 million Kansas City Chiefs $20.7 million Tennessee Titans $18.7 million Washington Redskins $17 million Denver Broncos $16.4 million Carolina Panthers $12.7 million Atlanta Falcons $11.7 million New York Jets $11.1 million Indianapolis Colts $9.4 million Tampa Bay Buccaneers $8.7 million Pittsburgh Steelers $7 million Dallas Cowboys $1.2 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 I can't believe the Titans are still that far over the cap after the blood letting that they had last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 How do we only have 2 mil after cutting MW? 615053[/snapback] Because ESPN has their numbers wrong...AGAIN. The following people still need to be cut from the Bills: Eric Moulds Jeff Posey Bennie Anderson I'm okay with holding onto Milloy and Vincent for one more year, but if either of them get cut I wont stay up all night crying either.

apuszczalowski Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 They probably wrote this list before teams started with their cuts. I can' believe there are teams that are over 20 mil below the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 They're probably waiting to see if there's a new CBA. If there is, then they won't have to cut as many players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Long Beach Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 As I understand this cap mess: Our cap position may have changed because next year could be an uncapped year all Not-Likely-To-Be-Earned (NLTBE) bonuses that would normally count towards next year must count on this years cap. If the labor agreement gets extended then they would count towards next years cap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 How do we only have 2 mil after cutting MW? 615053[/snapback] I thought with he release of MW & EM we were like $10-12 mil under the cap. But I guess EM has not yet been formally cut either. Still, with Sam's cut, we should be like at least $8-10 under as far as I knew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
