Any idea on where that puts us? Around $8 million right now?

They have us at 122m

That would open up about $25m by itself. That would allow us to extend Houston pretty easily.

That does mean that, as many of my mocks have suggested, that drafting a passrusher like Dee Ford in the 1st and a corner like E.J. Gaines or Pierre Desir might be necessary this year, to protect us from losing that much talent. We could be trotting out two brand new starters at corner.

Thats idiotic.

Gotta admit, $12m is going to make things super interesting. The good news is that we don't have to do any restructuring. And we can still extend Berry and net us another $3-4m.

The main problem is, Alex Smith is going to eat up at least half of that cap room. Then it's going to be a bunch of value signings.

This team will still need to improve through the draft.

I wonder if they restructure Colquitt's deal.

[Direckshun]

If I ran the world, I'd restructure Fasano.

$4m/year is highway robbery for what he's giving us.

[OldSchool]

Awesome, it's good that we will get more room to spend.

If I ran the world, Fasano's contract would be way down on my list of things to fix.

Why? He already accounts for 8mil under his current deal. Unless you think he's going to account for $14+ mil this year (which he won't), you're wrong.

King has been calling you out in every thread direck lol

I'm going to cut out all the stuff you wrote about NPV because it's long and has no place here. NPV is worthless and overcomplicated. Hali doesn't care about the NPV of his contract. He cares about how much money he is guaranteed, and how much money MIGHT be guaranteed. Period. There's no reason for him to care about the value of his contract in years where he knows he'll be cut anyway.

So you don't think agents evaluate contracts based on their npv and the likelyhood of collection? I can't educate the willfully ignorant.

Why are you lumping those in as the same? Nobody cares about NPV because everybody know most big contract players are cut before the contract expires.

I'm sure agents worry a lot about the likelihood of collection. Again... Hali is going to get paid $8.25M this year. He has no urgency to restructure. Why in the world would he be expected to restructure money he's already guaranteed?

Why wouldn't he?

He's going to get a new extension this offseason that pays him like a franchise QB, is he not?
