Quote:He's gotta know ball park what our cap space situation is yet he balked at the question regarding it.  His response was "I'll have to get back to you on that."

 

Do other teams not have that information already?  The only reason I could see him balking at it is if it's not known throughout the league at this time.  

If the intention is to unload some players that currently count on the cap for next year, it's not that difficult to understand why he wasn't willing to be specific.  The cap situation is a good one, and with a few additional cuts, even better.  The team reportedly has more than $40 million in space right now.  With a couple of cuts that most are expecting, that number could bump up over $50 million.  Caldwell knows exactly what their cap situation is today, but by balking at responding to the question, he's pretty much telling you that number is going to change as they cut some players and probably give extensions to others they feel are worth retaining.
