And here is Schefter with details:

Holy cow redskins. They are always in some cap peril. They spend like I do, everything is instant gratification, they have no ability to see the future at all, its all right now.

Florio also weighs in on the subject, mentioning the Cowboys and Redskins in particular:

Damn you'd think if these teams were doing anything really wrong, they'd have been a lot better than they were! I guess they can't even cheat well.

Jets should be one of the teams but it's Goodell pulling the strings so who knows.

From PK's MMQB.

If the colts have to get rid of Frenney I wouldn't think his trade value would bring much. Couldn't interested teams just wait until they release him?

Adam Schefter ‏ <s>@</s>AdamSchefter All that money goes to 28 other teams -- $1.6 million each -- except for Saints and Raiders, who don't get any but don't lose any.

This just keeps getting better oLOL

Apparently there are rumors flying around that Frenney might be headed to the Jets for a 3rd round pick.

Ok, I like that. So now we're at about $18M + $8M if Light retires + $3-4M if Ocho restructures = about $30M

Nice, thank you for screwing up Skins and cowboys.

Probably bs, but who really knows with Indy at this point?

Does he fit the jets defense? I mean he would have to go to OLB wouldnt he?

odd, esp. since they tendered Maybin.
Having two one-dimensional guys whose dimension is the same, esp. given each's price-tag seems odd

$8M if Light retires

If they reclaim the proration of his signing bonus. I'm not convinced the Patriots would do that.

+ $3-4M if Ocho restructures

No more than $2M. His current base salary is $3M and the minimum salary close to $1M.

Still, the Patriots are in a very good position and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

I'm sure they would move him around, both standing up & hand in the dirt.

Now if that would work I couldn't tell you. I mean he has spent his entire career in a 3 point stance pinning his ears back & rushing the paseer. I think he is kind of old to start experimenting with. :shrug:

Yeah, that just seems odd. If they throw him on the line on the jets, he might get ran over.

Isn't Freeney's salary ridiculously high in 2012? If so than I'm all for the Rats trading for him. That would really leave them hamstrung in terms of cap space.

"Tanny's a cap genius and Freeney will be so excited to play for Rex that he'll restructure for a cap hit of $19.95"

duh

$14M base salary. The Jets had $7.1M in cap space prior to the Pouha-deal and the little gift from Dallas/Washington they got today.

Edit: Not sure if the Sanchez-restructure was included in that number.

Ok, I like that. So now we're at about $18M + $8M if Light retires + $3-4M if Ocho restructures = about $30M

Plus another couple of million if Welker can be signed to a long term deal, plus some small change savings from minor cuts and restructurings. So yes, upwards of $30M is quite reasonable. The rookie pool will take up about $5M, leaving about $25M for internal and external FA signings.

Greg Bedard reminds us why the Colts jettisoned some pretty big names

http://www.boston.com/sports/footba...brandon_lloyd_because_of_mcdaniels/?page=full

They are taking all the cap hits this year, so that the following season they can jump in with both feet on the free agent market.

Maybe not Kraft, but if it's up to BB, the money is coming back to give more cap relief.

Now maybe they could offer him some no show job next season to get the money back to him.

 

[chevss454]

Schefter says the Raiders intend to release TE Kevin Boss. They signed him last summer for 4yrs/16M with $6M guaranteed.

Maybe he'd take $2M/...
