Colts $31 Million in Cap Space


Recommended Posts

@ESPNStatsInfo: Colts have $31 million in projected salary cap space - most in NFL among 2014 playoff teams (6th-most overall)

This was just posted 2 minutes ago

Where are you getting this info? Last I saw with the release of RJF, Colts have just about 43 mil. I have a hard time believing we only have 31 mil considering we don't have any huge contract players.

How's that? I thought it was up in the 40's as of now. Where you at Sup?

 

I'm right here. That figure isn't accurate as of right now, and it definitely won't be accurate once the cap is released and the Colts rollover is accounted for. Today was the deadline for teams to tell the league how much they plan to rollover. I assume the Colts will rollover the entire ~$7m they can.

Over The Cap projects us to have $43,745,661.00 with there projection of the salary cap being $150,138.267 http://overthecap.com/calculator/indianapolis-colts/

 

OTC uses a $143m cap, Spotrac uses a $142m cap. That, along with a missing player or two on Spotrac, makes up the difference.

 

Edit: Also, Spotrac includes the projected draft pick contracts.

ESPN was wrong, sportrac and OTC (Who I trust the most) have the right amounts, about 43M. The only thing not sure of is the rollover, but I do believe even though we have not notified the league officially, March 10 deadline I believe, the way both sites work, they roll over prior year. Now with Trich and Donald Thomas being cut, which I think are just a matter of when, we will have 49M. Nice!!!!

The deadline to report rollover to the league was reportedly yesterday:

Chap was on with DD or maybe Grady and Joe today and he stated Indy had around 40 - 43 million and could even grow if a couplle more players are let go (Thomas and TR grievance ) adding 4-7 m?.       And he is of the opinion that Indy will make a BIG play for a pass rusher...     Yes Please...   :thmup:

 

This team has plenty of dough...    but Grigs has got to hit this time ..       BIG

 

 

 

   Grady and Big Joe...

    • TJ Green was a a Grigson pick. I know it’s been pointed out but if you’re going to be so arrogantly biased but not remember a player drafted before the GM your bashing them, the substance of your message is incredibly vacated of credibility.   His drafts have consisted of incredibly high upside, toolsy and traitsy prospects. If anything his knock has been that he hasn’t taken safer players with high floors and lower upside.   My take on Banogu is that his demise is from his greed. He was drafted to play, and played in college as a linebacker. His role was to be the same as a Dontae Hightower. Someone mainly utilized for blitzes, and a run stuffer. However he came in and wanted to be a pass rusher because they get paid a heck of a lot more than a line backer on average. They shouldn’t have let him take that on and kept him at line backer and he might still be on a roster.    As far as block buster moves how can you discredit the Buckner trade? Trading for Carson Wentz? Trading for Matt Ryan? You can’t say he hasn’t taken chances. I blame Frank Reich more than anything still. I mean who the hell has Andrew Luck coming back in his first game after a huge shoulder surgery and throwing 53 times? I think that was the first moment that made me question Reich.   Your Richardson take is so disgusting and troll inducing it makes me think you don’t watch football or have watched any tape. You would think he played like Lamar Jackson where as he always has his eyes down the field when he breaks from the pocket.   Reich was the bigger failure and the reason we kept a revolving door at QB IMHO. A GM has to take the QB his head coach wants and Reich was wrong 4 times with the likes of Rivers (ultimately set us back another year by playing one season and dipping after taking us deep enough in the draft we couldn’t trade up without it costing us a fortune) Wentz, Foles and Ryan. You can’t win without a QB and he impeded us from getting a QB his entire tenure.
    • I appreciate your frustration…. But you and I have had this exact same conversation before.      What can I tell you?   The world changed.  Information used to come in your morning newspaper or the 10 or 11p news.  Info moved slowly.      Now information moves at the speed of a tweet.  The pressure to keep up has exploded.   Most people don’t get their news from the paper,  they get it from their phone.   Everyone is doing the best they can under extremely difficult circumstances.   Well…. Most everyone.    And what may be crap to some is fine for others.   In this thread here, @Superman noted that for some people the news is good or bad simply if they agree with it or not.  We, all of us,  are far, far more tribal than we ever used to be when we were younger.      The world has changed for better and worse.   Who was the former Indy Star writer who left to join The Athletic? He wrote about how,  for the first time in his life, having to worry about selling subscriptions.  And if he didn’t hit quotas he was going to get fired.  I was horrified for him.  My heart broke for him.  Why The Athletic thinks that’s a good business model is beyond me, but they do.   That kind of excruciating pressure will inevitably lead to bad editorial decisions.  A real shame.      I don’t know what kind of response you were expecting from me….  But these are my thoughts.   Hope it clarified.  
    • It's a valid concern. We had a powerhouse post on this from one of our members after the Colts made the pick. You should check it out.      
    • Laiatu Latu is one of the best pass rushers in the draft, but I am a bit concerned about his past neck injury. He had to go several doctors before finding one who allowed him to play. I'm sure the Colts vetted him before drafting (as did other teams who wanted him), so they must feel he's safe enough.    However, this injury could re occur sometime, and cause later problems. Consider the Cowboys Leighton Vander Esh who was a very good player but finally had to retire due to a nagging neck injury.    Is anyone else concerned about this? Or am I jumping to conclusions?
