They why is owner running around saying we are over the cap? This isn't the first time he's said this either, he said earlier this year on twitter to explain why we didn't go after Gurrard. BAV I know you probably understand the cap better than any of us here but is it possiable something changed with the new CBA? Like I said earlier though I always thought he point of a hard cap is that you couldn't go over it. Which is why I think most of us are trying to figure exactly how the Colts can be the 8 mil over the cap Irsay says we are.

As for Manning the bonus is prorated some how becuase the 28 mil number that is being thrown out there is what it would cost us to cut him. I've read several places this year his cap number next year we keep him is closer to 17 million I think. I could very well be wrong about the 17 million number but i now it was less than the 28 mil.

You can be over the cap for future years, you just can't be over the cap for the current year.

We can (probably) save $21M against the cap next year easily.

Irsay said the 8 million is THIS year, CS also said that under the new CBA you can do that now. I don't know but it sounds like something changed under the new CBA. Maybe it's a one year thing because of the new CBA with the shortened off-season I don't know and can't really explain it. Like you I always assumed a hard cap ment just that, hard as in you can't go over it. Irsay keeps saying we re over the cap this year though so either Irsay is wrong or something has changed.

Also Mannng would cost $17 mil next year if we keep him I found this

Forget that, the first person to talk after they replayed the intervew was Sanders and the first words out of his mouth were the Colts can't pay Peyton Manning 28 million next season and they had to cut him and draft Luck and start over. Everyone else on the panel clearly watched the interview and said they would keep Peyton (if healthy) and regardless of Peyton still draft Luck.

I wouldnt listen a word from Deion. He is a big time Manning hater.

He always finds an opportunity to bash Manning.

Another jealous dude with a big mouth.

Like was said earlier, you know your cap stuff. I'm more than happy to defer to you. But I could have sworn that there are cap exceptions for teams with players on IR. I might be confusing the NFL with the NBA, like others obviously are.

There you go! Can you imagine how dominating the left side of the line would be with Castanzo at guard and Kalil at tackle?

If we did draft Kalil which I wouldn't be opposed to IF PEYTON IS HEALTHY, Castanzo would move to RT not guard. He is not a guard & is way too tall to be a guard at 6'7. Also is not the greatest run blocker for guard.
