cap at

$22,671,783

That's without Adams, Dre and Langford.

[csmopar]

That's without Adams, Dre and Langford.

So add in all that and we are right at 10 million.

I think that's safe to say we are done with major signings, unless someone comes cheaply.

That's unbelievable, 10 is scary.  I guess were now putting all our eggs in the draft basket. So much for Knighten, Starks, Fairly, Hardy, and the rest..we don't have any money left....wow

I could see us bringing in another player for 7 mil per with a couple cuts. We could draft a tackle and cut Gosder in the post-June 1 cuts. That alone gives us the nessessary breathing room for season.

That 10 million would include draft picks also.

[12dalegend]

I would cut D. Thomas now and if it donʻt affect the cap Richardson now too, I would keep Walden until we get a NT and S

impossible to know

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I'd cut Thomas and Trent not Walden

Walden is going no where!

[COLTS449]

If we don't sign another D-Lineman Grigson is off his rocker. So even if there is just 10 mill left, we can, and we have to make it work if we want to have a better defense next year. Cutting Thomas will save a couple mill btw. Signing Knighton would give us a pretty good defense next year.

[backshoulderfade]

For anyone wondering, we have 60 million in cap space for 2016 before Adams, Johnson and Langford.

With 25 of it going to Ty and Luck

More probably. But we can expect it ti be higher, that figure is based on this years cap number.

[mattceinicram]

With 25 of it going to Ty and Luck

Let's say 9 to Castanzo?

10 mil split among Fleener and Allen?

[dw49]

I read Langford gets $5m in 2015. Not sure if that's his cap numberK

 

 

Got ya

Is that counting Gore and AJ and the rest of the signings? It won't load for me

I will say it again. This does not include Adams, Langford and Dre

[Smurphy1]

Yeah but that is after taking out the $ needed for the draft. Langford is ~5, adams is about 2.1 and I'll pencil in 7 for dre till we learn more and that leaves us with 8.5

Yeh but we do need some left over as a safety net for the season. Like I said, a couple cuts and we could potentially make another decent signing.

I think we are done with the major signings.

Btw, spotrac has the Colts at 22 million not counting the 3 recent signings nut they are taking out almost 4.5 million for draft signings.

Also, I didn't realize Landry being cut costs us 3.5 million in dead money that will get back next year.

Yup, so about 10 million left. Maybe no big names, but im suprised if no one else comes in.

[lollygagger8]

Only 10M left? 

 

Yeesh 

[DoubleE Colt]

I think they'll be a few more cuts to increase our cap space yet.

[backshoulderfade]

Yeesh

10 million with draft picks included.

Not that bad esp. with a few cuts coming

[SteelCityColt]

We need to see which way the TRich thing is going and what cap relief we get there. I'm worried that if Thomas hasn't been cut already they plan on giving him a shot at proving his fitness in TC. I guess it's not the worst plan if you don't need the money right now to sign anyone else.

Yup, I think cuts can wait until after the draft. See what the have with the roster and spend that 10 m if Grigd feels its needed.

[csmopar]

Im actually thinking we may not cut anyone but maybe Trich. Or we could keep him and see if he learns from Gore. I just don't know

[Deano1818]

The Trich issue will probably be a settlement of some type

 

What the guy did wasnt worthy of getting booted

 

(He missed a meeting because of a significant personal issue, fiance medical)

 

He gained some weight

 

 

Both are minor infractions. The union will be fighting this tooth and nail 

 

 

His real reason for being on the way out is extreme subpar field play and cap hit

 

 

 

It wouldn't surprise me if the 3.5 mil was split, where we settled on a 2mil number

[Chucklez]

So we got about what 14 or 13 million to spend after Langford and Adams contracts? We can add more to that if we cut Thomas and Richardson obviously. 

I have two words for you that will blow this idea out of the water: Luck, Hilton.

Is no one remembering that we are going to have to shell out some serious dough to keep these two? Heck not even just these two, but Castonzo, Fleener and Allen too... I think our FA spending is over / I hope it is if we are going to have any shot at keeping our core offensive players together.

[Old Colt]

Exactly......  everyone take a breath....have a snickers bar....  we have plenty of room left to do what we need to do!

[chad72]

I can see that we cut Erik Walden, get $4 mil. in cap space relief to bump it up to $14 mil. or so and sign Wilfork or Knighton and still have about $7 mil space. Then we call it a day.

 

Save some of the rest of the cap space for re-signing Castanzo first before the season ends and structure the 1st year accordingly. T.Y. is going to be tricky due to how much WRs are being paid right now.

[jvan1973]

Walden isn't going to be cut

[chad72]

Walden isn't going to be cut

 

If that is the case, we are better off saving what we have to re-sign Castanzo first. They are not paying Cole $8 mil. to sit on the sidelines.

 

So, we have Cole and Mathis for starting OLBs with Werner and Newsome backing them up. Walden seems like the odd man out.

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Are we sure that Mathis will be back at full force?

[chad72]

Multi-million dollar question, my man. Grigson probably had the same question, maybe that is why he spent the money on Trent Cole???

Exactly my thoughts too....

[backshoulderfade]

Well we were legitimately awful when sending 4 men.
