Carryover rules impact cap strategy

By John Clayton

On the eve of the regular-season finale, teams couldn't afford to think exclusively about the game.

They had to think about next season. Under the rules of the new collective bargaining agreement, teams had to designate how much money they wanted to carry over to the 2013 salary cap. The carryover provisions are new and important.

With the cap growing at only $300,000 a year, teams have to budget their cap over a multi-year basis. Last year's cap was $120.6 million, so general managers have to be smart about their spending.

The "haves'' are in good shape. The "have nots'' have to be creative. Thanks to the carryover, there is $350.7 million of cap room in 2013, but $200.3 million of carryover is part of that.

Eight teams, though, account for 79 percent million of total room. The Cincinnati Bengals saved $8.5 million of cap room in 2012 and made the playoffs for the second consecutive year. They have $55.1 million of room. The Cleveland Browns saved $14.3 million of room in 2012 and now have $48.9 million. After being tight against the cap in 2012, the Indianapolis Colts now have $46 million of room.

The Miami Dolphins have $35.8 million, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers $31.3 million, the Jacksonville Jaguars $22.1 million, the Buffalo Bills $20.6 million and the Tennessee Titans $19.4 million.

On the negative side, the New York Jets are $19.4 million over the cap. The Dallas Cowboys are $18.2 million over, the New Orleans Saints $14.7 million over and the Carolina Panthers $11.8 million over.

We are gonna have around 30 million in cap room when Jackson and Cassel are cut.

That's outstanding.

After today chiefs are over the cap. Goodbye Cassel and Jackson

Cut Studebaker's worthless ass as well.

Sassy Squatch · 03-04-2013, 04:01 PM

Maybe we can restructure Halis contract.

ShowtimeSBMVP · 03-05-2013, 01:45 PM

Albert- 9.8m
Bowe-4m
Dustin - Guessing around 2.5m

I will say this though

you do know there is a 14 million carry over coming March 12 right

did you factor that? that alone puts us under and I think cutting Jackson frees up like 15 million against the cap, you can potentially sign 2 to 3 good players with that space

March 12 we get an extra 14 million for the new league year so our cap number is actually like 137 million technically.

Sassy Squatch · 03-05-2013, 01:55 PM

Nice. Hopefully they can get Albert on long term to lessen his cap hit.

mcaj22 · 03-05-2013, 01:55 PM

all im learning last year is Pioli spent a lot of money to field a 2-14 team, one of the highest payrolls of 2012.

that is really sad
