cmh6476 918 Posted December 9, 2005 http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm CAP COULD MOVE TO $95 MILLION Early word is that the official cap number for 2006 will land somewhere between $92 million and $95 million per team, up from $85 million this year and higher than the previously anticipated range of $89 million to $90 million. Even at $95 million, several teams need to trim more than $20 million in 2006 payroll. The Jets and Raiders each exceed $120 million, and the Broncos have more than $118 million committed to next season. The Chiefs are at $114 million, and the Redskins are at $112 million. Despite a serious purge in 2005, the Titans are at $102 million. The Falcons are a hair under $102 million, and the Bucs are at $100 million. The other teams currently north of the anticipated spending limit are the Fins ($97 million) and the Steelers ($96 million). At the other end of the spectrum, the Browns are at only $61 million and the Cardinals are at $62 million. The Vikings are at $68 million, giving them yet another offseason with more than $20 million on hand in an effort to upgrade the roster. The Packers are $70 million and the Bengals are at $71 million. At $71 million, the Seahawks have plenty of room to sign running back Shaun Alexander, if they so choose. The Chargers also are at $71 million, which means they can keep both Drew Brees and Philip Rivers, if they so choose. The Niners are at $74 million, and the Bears and Jags are at $75 million. The folks within $20 million of the expected cap are as follows: Rams ($76 million); Ravens ($77 million); Texans ($78 million); Saints ($82 million); Bills ($82 million); Lions ($83 million); Eagles ($85 million); Giants ($89 million); Cowboys ($90 million); Pats ($92 million); Colts ($92 million); and Panthers ($93 million).

Arsenal 3 Posted December 9, 2005 Sucks to be a Jets fan... how will they even sign a top 5 pick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smashmouth 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Most of that Titan money is due to Mcnair's huge salary for next year which we all know wont get played at that price. The Titans are fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portis26 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Pretty much says Owens to the Skins I'd put money on it, if there was a betting line Owens and Moss with Portis - man o man -- WATCH OUT NFL!!!!!!! I know they signed PatteRn, but he got his bonus up front and his salary next season is minimal... HEck, they can keep Arrington if the Cap goes up alot... Plus Owens will get good money NOT great money - he may only sign a three year deal with an player option for the third year - so he can try to restore his image, and show he can produce... plus... he'll win a Super Bowl 41 and possible 42 in DC - NO DOUBT!
