Chiefs cap room for 2013

[Superturtle]

How much do we have ATM? I know it has been addressed recently in another post nut I can't seem to find it. Lets assume we cut Jackson and Cassel outright.

Tyson Ackson has a 17 mil cap number? What idiot did...........Oh wait. Never mind.

HOLY CRAP I thought Cassel had a much lower cap hit than that. HOLY SHIT on Jackson though.
***** indeed

The worst part about that?

***** actually gave Jackson a contract extension last April that actually gave him MORE money over his original 57 million dollar rookie contract.

It's like ***** was trying to fail.

Romeo
Cassel
Jackson

Unbelievable that Dungver and Philly have that much room. Philly has been spending big in free agency the last couple of years yet had $20 mil in cap space. Dungver gives Manning what? $25mil a year? And still has $12 mil left? Seems unlikely to me. But maybe I just don't get the cap

Yeah, I think our cap room freed up is going to go up considerable. Not sure the exact numbers but it looks like launching Cassel will generate around $15 million in new cap space and Tyson Jackson will generate about $15 million as well. Neither player is worth another $.01 IMO and we can easily replace them with solid FA's with that $30 million in free cap space...

Numbers are mostly garbage in-garbage out. Manning's deal was really a one-year $18 million deal with the Broncos having the right to pick up additional years based on a physical after this season (that then makes the next two years guaranteed at $20 million per) and then additional $19 million seasons if he's still around and on the roster when season four and then season five of his deal roll around. Right now, these numbers don't count at all towards his deal as they weren't paid in the form of a bonus (which allows a team to "spread out" a big lump sum payment over the life of a deal - part of the reason you get 6 year deals with huge payments on the back-end). The $20 mil for next season isn't deducted from Denver until the contingencies on Manning's deal is triggered (which it will be).

Launching Cassel will only generate around 7 mill I believe (current cap hit is under 10 right now). Jackson generates about 11 mill.

Still, we don't have to worry too much about the cap.

Good contracts for Charles, DJ, and Tamba once we get by next year.

Clark also mentioned that we would be carrying over the unused cap space from 2012 to 2013. So that should also increase our total numbers.

Tyson Jackson’s contract
2009 $2,860,000 Cap Hit
2010 $3,575,000 Cap Hit
2011 $11,240,000 Cap Hit
2012 $6,775,000 Cap Hit $24,550,000 paid so far.
2013 $17,245,000 Cap Hit

ChiefsGator already pointed out that we don’t save 17 million by cutting Jackson. Tyson has a $31 million guarantee, so we don’t save $17,245,000 by just cutting Jackson.

If Jackson fits into the new Chiefs defense, maybe they can renegotiate a new contract.
