The Raiders are projected to have more than $72 million in cap space on a $150 million cap, by far the most of any team. The Bears are next at $60 million, followed by the Buccaneers at $52 million, the Jaguars at $45 million and the 49ers at $40 million.

The Raiders, Bucs, and Jags have the opportunity to become scary good in the next couple of years based on this.

Did my eyes deceive me or is the salary cap going up by 10 million this year? Or is it next year?

Bortles, ARob, Yeldon, and Telvin won't be cheap

Add another 33.7 million that will be carried over to 2016 to the 45 Million under figure in 2016 you get 79 million under, now add Gerhart's 3.5 Mil and Clemons 4 Mil and you get around 86 Mil under. Get rid of Beadles and add another 5 Mil and you get over 91 Million under the cap to spend on extending our players or sign free agents.

Somehow they'll eat all our money up and we won't have enough to keep other good players. Then we'll suck again.

I wonder if Gus goes will it affect our ability to resign our young guys.


Also how much do you pay A-Rob relative to Hurns? A-Rob 12 Mil ,Hurns 8 Mil?
