If I tender a RFA how much do I have to pay for him? Can't find it anywhere....

Owen Daniels is on the block for everyone looking for a TE

He wasn't good last year, but at the very least he should be better in a 4-3....

 

 

I do need a safety now though 

IMO he's a bit underappreciated a bit like Darryl Smith used to be, not flashy against the pass, but a great one when it comes to stuffing the run. And he is much much better in the 4-3, the only reason the Texans traded him to the Eagles some years ago

Not to gloat, but I do think that Cole is a hell of an addition to my roster. Ryans should be better in a 4-3, but Cole should be awesome as a pass rusher...

Ryans is a beast!

Basically every Texans player is available for the right price except:

Andre Johnson

Arian Foster

Duane Brown

DeAndre Hopkins

Mega Watt and

The Cush

ERFAs, RFAs you can tender and obviously the franchise tag.  It is the same as last year.

I know, I was just confused by nobody trying to sign Monroe to a contract

signing him to a contract lol

anyway all my figures are rounded at .5 now and monroe at franchise hi; thus 12.5 free ca after the trade thread gets done and sizzle gets shipped

we can re-sign players?

So just for clarification, if I trade someone away I will save Cap Figure - Dead Money?

And if I trade for a guy I take on his base salary?

Ok good. I don't want to deal with that .1 or .2 stuff. Cool, just so I know how to go about making more cuts to go along with Sanchez.

You are cutting Sanchez?  Maybe I don't even have to draft a QB     lol

Ok just so I'm clear on this. For example, Mark Sanchez. 

 

Cap Figure = $13,100,000

 

Dead Money = $4,800,000

 

Total Savings = $8,300,000

 

Is that correct? Also how would we round these numbers?

Yes

I don't now if we just round the product or also Dead Money and Cap Figure

I guess we just round the end product which would be 8.5 stars for you

If we round Dead Money and Cap Figure too, you would only save 8 stars (Cap Figure = 13 stars; Dead Money = 5 stars)

Not on the 'post June 1st cut'.

 

Their dead money tab looks to be tabulated correctly, at least on the Vikings'.  Henderson's workout bonus isn't included in dead money, so it's probably safe to use that in all cases for simplicity.  But it gets more complicated if you're using the extra cut.

I don't want to go in depth because I am not 100% sure what those post June 1st cuts are, but I think SAM or someone from the CoCo said that we had one "post June 1st cut" for free where we can just cut someone and write off his base salary

Again Suggs is a unique example because his Base Salary = Cap Figure - Dead Money

Again I am not so sure about this post June 1st cut thing

Ok makes sense so simply stated in a formula would be: Cap Figure - Dead Money = Cap Savings (and in some cases cap costs ex. Joe)

Yes, that's it

im not sure we are bringing that into it in case it complicates it to much. I think we are simply going cap hit less dead money. Ie suggs is 12.4 less 4.6 is 7.8

I second this. I was told it's just Total Savings = Cap Figure - Dead Money other stuff would get too complicated I guess

do u recall an increase to cover the draft in previous years.

Yes I think we slightly raised the cap in previous years, that's why I asked

Can someone explain to me how we are doing cap hits with trades and cuts.

 

for example:

 

Terrell Suggs (2014 cap year on spotrac): He has 7.8 M base, 4.6 M other bonus, 4.6 M dead = 12.4 total cap figure

--so if cut/traded would it be a 7.8M (or 8 star) saving?? how are we using other bonuses, dead, and signing bonuses in these calculations?

You have one cut available in which you can just write off the players base salary. Other than that you are just calculating the whole Cap Figure (last column) minus the dead money (all can be seen on this site: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/cap-hit/ ) which equals what you save for that player. Suggs is kind of a unique example because his base salary equals the cap figure minus dead money. For example for Ngata you would just save 1 star

we normally take the expected league cap and increase it to cover the standard draft allotment. Ie a cap of 132.5. At least I thought we do. If we don't id like to change my team if possible.

I asked some days ago and one member told me it's 127 stars we can work with

Has anyone PMed Free Agent?

And I am going 4 in a row. The same team for 4 consecutive years, I'm excited

How much time do we have between picks? I will pick soon, just asking because of my fellow europeans

I'm actually in favor of the random draft, although I guess that I'll be one of those lucky guys at the end of the draft lol

I am against the random team assignment, I lean towards generating something like the team picking round. Although I wouldn't change it after all, the system worked in the past

I think we are at 127?

127 stars

 

Great, thanks for clarifying!

Maybe we can set it up so every team gets 1 cut that is just base salary ( like a June 1 designation) and then any other cuts trades will be calculated from Cap Hit - Dead Money.

Sounds good, I would be in favor of it!

BTW, how much salary do we have at the beginning? 130stars to operate?

That is an interesting point.. The Cowboys are really the only team in that kind of predicament though so maybe some kind of exception can be made for them. I think hey could still make it under the cap, but it would require cutting almost the entire team.

The Saints are 15 stars over the cap, maybe also candidates. but 15 could be manageable, IMO
