Now THAT's the process.

That's 34 million worth of cap space to start with.

Now we get to the interesting part...we were 15-20 million under the cap in 2012 and that number can be rolled over.

That gives us around 50 million worth of cap space to work with if we max out everything and make the logical moves.

PLENTY to re-sign Bowe, Albert, Colquit and Dorsey as well as locking up guys like Houston, Moeaki and Asamoah...as well as going fishing for some big fish.

We are in a great spot capwise.

Yeah now it comes down to how much cash Hunt has left after the buyout of SP and RAC.

Matt Cassel
Tyson Jackson
Stanford Routt
'Team-killer' Pioli buyout + dollars earned

We've basically spent an entire year's salary cap supporting our dumbass GM and his bad decisions.

Pretty sure they don't count against the cap.

Wasn't talking about cap.
Clark has spent a lot of CASH. We were top 3 last season in cash spent. Clark just had to buy out 2 contracts in SP and RAC, more CASH.
Every player we sign that has a signing bonus will be more cash.
I know the Hunts are rich and all but there is a limit to how many multi-million dollars a person or business has in cash.

Lets see how much sympathy he gets when he comes to the table with "Sorry guys, I couldn't spend the money necessary to field a respectable roster because I had to pay off MY ****ups."

He will be a star with Geno at QB.

So far, not so much.
