What does our Salary Cap situation look like?

by mrsoprano on Jul 27, 2011 1:02 PM CDT

I know the new CBA has just been passed, but with those new parameters in place...

How much cap space do we have left? There used to be a handy website that kept it tabulated, but I am not sure if it is still active.

...I am not really concerned with signing free agents, but how expensive is Cullen Jenkins going to be to resign? It doesn't look like Neal will be fully healthy at the start of the season.

We have I believe $250K in cap space. We still still have to sign our draft picks. Cullen Jenkins will cost anywhere from $6-10 Million per season. That’s based on a hunch. That’s all I can give you off the back of my head.

"Seahawks sign Matt Leinart. Unlike Antonio Cromartie, coach Pete Carroll loves having Trojans on hand’’. Brilliant

Latest I heard

Was we were about 350K below w/ the release of Barnett about 6 to 7M below, but now after signing Crosby about 3 – 4M below.

…then we have to sign all of our draft picks with that money.

Well we have a couple more players that will likely get released.

Tauscher and Poppinga are almost surely going to be.

Yeah…true. I hope so at least!

I would like to see Tauscher cut and resigned to a 1 year 950k deal to be a backup/mentor to our young tackles. He may not be able to hold up for a long stretch but he is capable of giving us a spot game or 2 and not get AR killed.

I’d be on board with that.

My up to date guess

They were at break even, but they re-signed Crosby which will be covered by the release of Poppinga and Harrell. Then they’ll release or trade Barnett, and release Tauscher, to provide about $10 million. They’ll need about $5 million to sign their rookies.

So that leaves about $5 million left to re-sign players, which wouldn’t be hard to do at all, or maybe bargain shop after training camp opens and remaining free agents begin to panic. Any room they don’t use could be left available to sign someone like Josh Sitton to an extension mid-season.
