free agency thread 2018

[Stymietee]

Philly had contracts on the books that would have put them over the top as of March 14. They had to adjust.

The NFL has a hard cap, but now allows carry over.

teams must remain below the hard cap plus carry over for the entire season.

Example.

HArd cap 177 plus carry over of 5 Million would mean the team has an effective hard cap of $182M

As long as total out lay of active players, Players on IR does not go over that $182M from March 14 until the end of the 2018 season, the team is in compliance.

In order to ensure this, if the team were at $180M and tried to sign a player to a $5M contract, the league would reject it and tell them to either lower the contract, or make a corresponding contract move to ensure that they have enough cap space.

For cap purposes, any likely to be earned bonuses are considered a part of the total cap number for the year. Any bonuses not earned come off the cap total for that year and becomes available as carry over cap funds for the following year.

Carry over cap numbers are used before the current years cap is used.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Looks like an offer to Jr was given than withdrawn...wonder if that means Logan/Hankins is in the works...

Could very well be. Hoping for Mr. Hankins.

Hankins reportedly visiting the Bears later this week. Looks unlikely he’ll land with us

I heard on 980 that he wants 10 mil per. That's part of the reason he's still not signed by anyone else.

That was Hankins problem last year. He wanted 10M+ per year and that's why he was unsigned until mid-April. He signed a deal in Indy that guaranteed him 10.5M. The Colts cut him b/c they didn't think he was worth the 8.5M he was due in 2018.

Always appreciate your additions to this board niner,

This forum is one of the most active and diverse-of-thought teams forums on the hoop. Ya'll should be proud of it. I consider myself very well educated about the NFL, but I've learned several new things from participating here. Dilly-dilly!

Honestly, I can't believe I got past the membership committee here...the guy with the rubber glove was surprisingly gentle.

Will Compton to the Titans

If I was going to bet on any current player eventually becoming a successful coach, it'd be Will Compton.
