March 14, 201214 yr Author ESPN's Adam Schefter reports free agent QB Matt Flynn will meet with the Seahawks Thursday night and into Friday. Seattle will first meet with Chad Henne later today, suggesting Flynn doesn't necessarily top the list at quarterback. GM John Schneider was with the Packers when Flynn was drafted, and Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell runs a West Coast scheme suited to Flynn's strengths. According to NFL Network's Albert Breer, Flynn is drawing interest from two teams in addition to Seattle. That report may be agent-driven.
March 14, 201214 yr Author Cowboys sign Brandon Carr... Cowboys signed CB Brandon Carr to a five-year, $50.1 million contract. The extra $100,000 is no coincidence, enabling Carr to top Cortland Finnegan's $50 million deal with the Rams. The No. 8 player on Profootballtalk's Hot 100 Free Agents, Carr was easily the top defensive back remaining on the market. Possessing youth (26), ideal size and press coverage skills, Carr will be a major upgrade on Terence Newman. The Cowboys did well to land their top free-agent target.
March 14, 201214 yr Bucs signed CB Eric Wright from the Lions. Is he any good? Forget him! You signed the best Guard in football! Carl Nicks is a Bucc. Regarding the corner, Eric Wright, he's nothing special. Nicks and Davin Joseph should pave the way for a strong running game I hope!
March 14, 201214 yr After the Soliai deal, the Dolphins are now a little under 10 million in Salary Cap, I believe. You account the draft and take away around 4 to 5 million from that, and that is how much we have left to spend. There are a multitude of players we can cut, though. For instance, if we cut Tony McDaniel, Ryan Cook, and Jason Trusnik, we cut around 5 million right there. Yeremiah Bell would save 4 million. Also, we could restructure contracts like Dansby and Bush. That would save a lot, as well.
March 14, 201214 yr Football salary and economics. Something I don't wish to know about because it's so ass backwards. Either make it a hard cap like the NHL or no cap like the MLB (which I hate). But jeez, why so confusing?!

But jeez, why so confusing?! It's ok for me. Follow Omar Kelly and Ben Volin on Twitter. They usually update it for us.

Not sure how NFL works, but if you are at the cap when you draft the rookies, can you go over it to sign them?

I'm not 100 percent familiar with the cap system of the NFL, but I am pretty sure the answer to that is no. I'll look into it, though.

I'm guessing it's no, as well, since people seem to talk of a team's cap room and account for needing ~$5MM to sign draft picks.
March 14, 201214 yr Yea, you can't. If you follow the link and scroll to the bottom question 1.13 about going over the cap, he states that no team can go over the cap, which is 120.6 million, I believe. http://www.askthecommish.com/salarycap/faq.asp
March 15, 201214 yr Chad Henne signs with Jacksonville. Surprising. I guess he didn't want to be Sanchez's backup. What are the chances he starts in Jax?
March 15, 201214 yr Yeah I'd say that is false as well. Gabbert f***ing sucked last year. I mean... there might be room for improvement for him being that it was his first season... but for next season if you made me choose I'd rather have Henne. And I shudder at the thought.
March 15, 201214 yr I'll wait to see how Gabbert does after he goes through a FULL preseason. He didn't really get any help from his WRs last season either. :pray Blackmon :pray
