    Default 2016 Salary Cap

    Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 3h

    NFL told team execs at this week’s owners meetings that 2016 salary cap projects between $150-$153.4 million, per sources. Cap now $143.28M.

    And will of course get eaten up by Brock and Millers new contracts.

    Now if Manning retires we will be in good shape cap wise.

    I think the chances of him returning next year are slim to none.

    As much as Ware has been injured this year I expect a restructuring or pay cut there, and more than likely a restructure or pay cut for Clady. Between those and Manning release/retire we will have plenty for Brock and Miller and still have all the extra cap.

    If everyone's cap is going up, then will that really give us an advantage? Yeah, we might have another 10 million, but so does the team trying to lure players away.

    Manning is gone. 15-20 mil savings
    Clady is restructured or gone 5-10 mil savings
    Ware is restructured or gone 5-10 mil savings
    Owen Daniels same above 1-4 mil savings
    Colquitt sucks- infinite savings
    Vasquez gone 6 mil savings
    Other scrubs gone- 3 mil savings
    Caldwell gone - water consumption savings
    Antonio smith gone - 1 mil,savings?



    Miller, trev, Wolfe, Malik, Vernon, walker, bossweiler, are all guys we can keep if we want. Trev may walk in FA. We are able to keep any and all players, should we choose....plus, I'm sure we will add a few Pro Bowl players in FA as per typical Elway M.O.
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    I don't understand dropping Vasquez.

    Yeah, I doubt that happens. But he's a Kuperesque player in that he's an excellent protector but mediocre run blocker, so I think I understand whence that prediction comes. But Vasquez is still fairly young, plays well and knows the system now; we won't do better for less, even at guard (and our team actually values guards.)

    I personally doubt Ware restructures either, though the back injury that's lingered since at least 2013 may prompt his retirement intead, with similar effect. Otherwise, I expect we'll do our best to keep him, and the easiest way is to leave his contract alone. Barrett and (possibly) Ray are great, but Wares calm wise leadership may be worth as much as his play, because lots of our defenders started doing lots of STUPID stuff almost the moment he was hurt.

    If Daniels walks or restructures, it'll only be because we paid Vernon Davis, which is fine by me, but won't represent much savings.

    We won't pay Clady $10 million to play on a leg held together by bandaids, bubblegum and hope, no, and he may not take a restructure; the $5-10 mil sounds right either way.

    The big ticket items are clear, so a lot depends on what Clady and Ware do, or we do with them; cutting either would save us exactly $10 mil, so the pair would trim slightly more than the $19 mil Manning's slotted in for next year. That's ¼ of even the projected larger cap, and could pay a loooot more than three players.
    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    Vasquez gone? He's one of the best RGs in football. Lock his ass up.

    He missed the whole Patriots game and the offense looked better without him.

    That's because we primarily ran; as a pass blocker, Vasquez is one of the best. That's only half his job, and traditionally the less important half for a guard, but the flip side is that inexperience with complex NFL pass rushes is a big part of what delayed Garcias entry to the lineup. Developing Oz (or whomever) into the franchise QB we need will require time for him to settle into and learn that role without a 320 lb. NT falling on him 2 seconds after every snap.

    He is not a very good fit in the zbs that kubes runs. He is also making a lot! When mad max filled in for him last week the run game really took off. If we weren't running kubes scheme I would agree completely, my hunch is he is gone.

    Exactly. Plus players (and agents) know they can get more money when there's more to go around. It's not really an advantage for any team.
