Quote:Just a thought here...

 

The Jags are 33.95 Mil under the cap in 2015.

 

The Jags are projected to be 45.47 Mil under the cap in 2016

 

If the Jags carry over the entire 33.95 Mil into 2016, then the team will have 79.42 Mil to spend in free agency.

 

Cutting Beadles (5.5) + Gerhart (3.5) + Clemons (4) adds another 13 Mil to the total or 92 Mil in 2016 cap space.

 

I think the Jags have some room to sign some free agents.

 

You are forgetting it a hard cap EVERY year. So if they just carry over $33 million for next year and use up all $92 cap space, then you would project over the cap in 2017 by a significant amount and have to let go of everyone. So what you have to do is make sure that you some cap space free to carry over in following years to account for every year there after.

 

It is easier to carry over only a minimal amount. Then when they are like a real NFL team that is always near the hard cap, they do not have to cut good players just because and can just begin the process of continually restructuring contracts.
