OconRecon Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 It was mentioned in a recent Plain Dealer story the Browns are in possible trouble with the salary cap, and therefore may be less appealing to a new GM. It's also been said we'll be able to make room. Here's what I can find on the status as of the end of '08. 2008 CAP COMMITMENT (with number of players under contract in parentheses) Tennessee (34) $71.842 million San Diego (44) $79.729 million Buffalo (44) $81.177 million Cincinnati (44) $81.268 million Jacksonville (42) $82.263 million San Francisco (46) $83.472 million New Orleans (37) $84.076 million Arizona (36) $86.531 million Dallas (40) $88.593 million Miami (40) $88.622 million N.Y. Giants (46) $89.156 million Oakland (40) $90.133 million Cleveland (41) $90.306 million Houston (38) $90.951 million Detroit (40) $91.488 million Tampa Bay (47) $92.869 million Kansas City (43) $94.132 million Green Bay (47) $94.506 million Chicago (49) $94.857 million Pittsburgh (39) $95.017 million Denver (41) $95.279 million Minnesota (45) $95.794 million Philadelphia (48) $96.051 million N.Y. Jets (43) $98.231 million Seattle (41) $102.206 million St. Louis (38) $103.059 million Indianapolis (42) $104.561 million New England (42) $105.131 million Atlanta (47) $108.861 million Carolina (34) $109.899 million Baltimore (42) $110.014 million Washington (45) $136.270 million Keep in mind that some teams' 2008 cap commitment includes some contracts that will void after this season. And every team has overpaid players they can cut to lower their cap commitment. Other sources would be nice to see as I've also seen there's less than 5 mil in cap space. If the above numbers are correct, I'm not sure Cabot is accurate in her PD story as it seems the Browns are in average cap territory. (By the way, ain't it great to be a Tennesee fan now a days. Geesh. A great season and plenty of cap room headed to '09) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
