NFL | Cap set at $94.5 million - The Orange Mane

HEAV · 03-01-2006, 08:50 PM

The Associated Press reports the NFL has set the salary cap for the 2006 season at $94.5 million. League owners will meet in New York on Thursday, March 2, in an attempt to work out a new collective bargaining agreement. A new CBA could add anywhere from $10 million to $15 million to the salary cap. Teams also have an additional six hours to terminate contracts and request waivers on players. The original deadline was set for 4 p.m. EST on Thursday, March 2, but has now been pushed back to 10 p.m.

There's still hope.

Hercules Rockefeller · 03-01-2006, 08:54 PM

$1M under now, $12.5M more if they can't get Lepsis and Warren signed.

Florida_Bronco · 03-01-2006, 09:02 PM

Well let's hope the deal gets done tommorrow.

What if they can't reach a deal by 10pm?

Hercules Rockefeller · 03-01-2006, 09:10 PM

That is what would happen if they can't reach a deal by 10 pm and then couldn't reach deals with ML and GW

Sorry Herc. Still trying to wake up for sleeping.

Ok so if now deal with these two the Broncos will have 12.5 Mill to work with in replacing DT,OT, and add maybe a T.O. or other big talent.

Sounds sweet. Get Sam Adams and bring back E. Salamn. Then make T.O. an offer. Draft wisely with the two #1's.

sam adams?!

I'm still amazed at how both sides are fighting over 4% difference in revenue sharing.

Hercules Rockefeller · 03-01-2006, 09:20 PM

If there is a deal, then $10+M under the cap, another $12.5M if no deal with MS and GW, and CB, AW, JP and RS could save quite a bit of money if they restructure their deals.

TO baby!!!

Bring em on! Sam Adams would be fun. Draft a young guy, Sam takes 2 OL, then the rook only has to beat 1 OL. Sounds good to me. Plus the Ends can disrupt some things!

Salaam... hmmm. with a healthy Foster he could easily move to LT if LEpsis doesnt work out.

Thanks Herc.

The Denver post and the RockyMountian news should hire you. You always on top of this sh*t.

think about it for a sec. Guy can stop the run. (Look at our division)

And if he constantly takes 2 OL, the rest of the DL will have a field day assuming we dont get max protected against all season.

For starters the Broncos WS and M linebackers are undersized. That means having big D-tackles to eat up blocks will allow the backers to attack without having to engage a bigger blocker.

Speed isn't relevant for a DT in the Broncos scheme of defense. It's about taking up space and people. Giving the backers the glory of making the tackles.

yah well getting sacks is also rather irrelevant at this point in the broncos defense.

I imagine if sam adams gets double teamed on pass plays someone messed their assignment up, or we're rushing 3. he's a giant wad of slow.

one big fat slow guy is enough

That's the ends job. Ask Mr Pryce and Brown what happened there.

Hell in 2005 only one DT in the NFL had more than 10 sacks. If your looking for sacks from a DT then your really hurting.

HEAV · 03-01-2006, 09:59 PM

Not to mention that Sam and Warren had 3 sacks each in 2005. Total tackles nearly the same. And that's with Sam missing two games!

So dropping big coin on Warren may not be the best option. I'd prefer to go cheap FA and draft a prospect to play in the rotation.

I like my dts to be capable of having an impact in the passing game. if we're just gna get two fatties stoned at the line cuz they're too winded and expect our de's to just work magic elsewhere(even though we have exactly zero stud pass rushing de's). I mean man.
