If Holder is accurate , maybe about 16-17 mill left figuring the draft and keeping 3-4 mill on hand ? I'm thinking unless we signed Hankins who is said to be asking way too much money , we'll have a pretty good carry over. Same looks to be true for at least 8-9 other teams.

dw49 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 1 hour ago, Superman said: We need a corner. That's an understatement . We have V Davis who is on the injury list every week. Hip .. then an ankle .. then a foot and then a groin. Nice player but it's been like this for 2 years and when 7-8 year vets start this "trend" , often it just doesn't end. After him we have Melvin who I would call a #4 CB. Butler can't play outside and they plan on playing him at safety. I guess when you consider Robinson was either hurt or terrible other than a couple weeks , it's much like last year ? Draft is rich in DB's but we need a pass rusher , NT a future RB and another TE wouldn't hurt. I guess just too many holes too fill in 1 year. It's said to be a deep draft and one trade back would give us 8 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still pretty iffy considering we are probably a couple years from contending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't mean to quote Superman twice but just wanted to inform you guys in case you didn't know that WFAN in NY reported the Giants currently have the highest contract offer out to resign Hankins but he still wants more. I would not count him coming here but the Giants probably did not see themselves resigning JPP and Hankins this offseason either so never say never.

If he wanted he could create more room by looking at Jones and even Ayers. Plus he could turn some of those roster bonuses into signing bonuses. I know most are aware of this , I'm just making a point that if he wanted to sign players like Brown or Hankins , cap room really is not a deal breaker.

Superman Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Added Fortunato, no details, I'm assuming rookie minimum, and he'll have no meaningful impact on cap status. Weird signing, IMO.

Aiken deal was about right , we figured like 6.5 for 2 years which probably would have been pretty close to the # if it were a 2 year deal.

bababooey Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Fortunato is a very weird signing. Art Jones has been released. 5.15 mil Cap savings per Mike Chappell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just updated. To get @dw49 to stop calling me a lazy bum, I estimated Woods at $2.5m and Fortunato at $500k. Until we get details stating otherwise, the Colts have approximately $25.6m remaining cap space.This does not include in season buffer or practice squad. It does include draft picks.

You appear to be right on spotrac numbers ... not the higher over the cap . No actually you are a little higher than Spotrac as they appear to have 25.4 without Woods ? But there are other factors that adjust that final # here and there I think. Good job and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Aiken and Williams received signing bonuses, but they both have one year deals, so there's no issue there.

I agree with you. I think he's ( Simon) the best singing by far. I was just saying the biggest "gamble" or "question mark"we made was the Sheard signing. He could be worth the 8 mill or he could be a bad signing. That's why I considered him the "key" to a good offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, if he's not even close to 2015, he can't stay. He has a guarantee trigger on the 5th day of the 2018 league year. If he's back to his 2015 form -- which is the level at which he played at times in Cleveland -- then he'll be our primary Rush backer. He's not good enough to be the primary Rush backer for a good defense, so we're still deficient, but he can help, for sure. I really just see him as a younger Walden, maybe better, since Walden only had good sack production in one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's probably more disciplined on the edge than Walden, but I don't think they used him primarily on the weak or strong side. We almost always put Walden on the strong side, especially on early downs. But if Sheard is more consistent setting the edge against varied alignments, then if we're going to play him on the weak side mostly (assuming Simon is the Sam, and he definitely is more disciplined and consistent setting the edge than Walden), it should make his job a little easier, in theory.
