If that figure is correct, that means that the extensions given the Charles, Studebaker and DJ and the signing bonuses given to them counted against last years figures and not this years.

If that figure is accurate, Pioli and company did an absolutely masterful job of getting those deals done...WHEN they got them done.

When I tallied up the cap figures a couple days ago, I came to 87 million...but that was including an educated guess as to how much of those plYersxsigning bonuses would count against us. I may have errored in running those numbers, hopefully I did.

I'm not sure that number is totally accurate though.

Not sure that it's correct either. That's why I included the link, so everyone could judge for themselves.
