"The belief in early December was that the 2016 salary cap could increase around $10 million, putting it at just over $153 million, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it ended up somewhere near the $160 million mark."

That's it? No reason as to why he wouldn't be shocked?
I'm thinking Spotrac's estimate of $154 mil makes the most sense at this point.
Meanwhile, I'm wondering why Alfie isn't considering the estimated $32 or $33 mil in rollover money.
Quote:I haven't seen him called a sack master, but he was just an all around force at DE. Tons of pressures and run stops. Disruption is production.

According to @PFF, Olivier Vernon finishes '15 with 3rd most total pressures (79) and 2nd most run stops (35) of all DEs (3-4 and 4-3).

Olivier Vernon finished 6th in QB pressures this season. He gets all the money. #Jaguars

My concern is that he only broke out once he started playing beside Suh.
can we resign Blake this March early and get him under long term early and front load the contract with a roster bonus that doesnt hit the cap in coming years?
Also what will be the minimum about that has to be spent?

Vernon had 11.5 sacks in 2013
I reckon we only spend 55% of the available cap and rollover. Then we'll rollover the rest for next year.
Quote:Cool. I was hoping to see a little more to justify all the hype surrounding him.
The guy is super young and his arrow is pointing up. He was drafted as a project and is really starting to show up. Also, he is a Florida boy and has mentioned that he likes being in Florida so we have a leg up there.
If he hits the market, he should be our number 1 priority, no doubt about it.

I could be wrong but I think the CBA that was signed in 2011 stated you could roll over cap space from the previous year but by 2016 each team must spend a minimum of 89% of their cap and the league total must be 95%. It is not out of the realm of possibility for this team to spend close to 80 million this offseason with the additional cap cuts and savings.

The Jags are expected to lead the league with an enormous amount of cap space according to the current guesstimates. Whoever our capologist is deserves a raise.
That would be Gene Smith. He basically drafted so badly that anybody decent on the Jags was picked up in the last 3 years.
Quote:So to sum up, we have mountain load of cash to lure quality free agents?
What this guy said. Even Congress thinks this is a lot of money.
