My understanding is that the estimates this early always counted the teams FA making the same money they did before. One of the reasons you just can't put any weight into it right now.

That should have said under. I'm a moron.

Petro was way off. I don't know where he got his numbers, but my numbers as an amateur were consistently in the 6 mill range.

Petro was not way off.

The people here crying that we had $11M under the cap were the ones who were way off.

I misread what you typed about Petro. I thought you were attributing the 11 number to him.

No, Petro said at the time that we were closer to $5M under but that accelerators and incentives due some guys (he mentioned Richardson as an example, I don't know if he meant hypthetical or not) would put us closer to $1M under. And he also said that we'd be over unless some things were done with Holliday and Morton.

That being said, I agree with you. People can make educated guesses. But it's also not exact, or factual. It's still a guess.

Petro said MONTHS ago when people were bitching about the mythical $11M number that we were not $11M under the cap and it was because of bonuses. People said at the time he was a liar. Turns out he was right.

you have no idea whether he was right or not

contracts and the cap change year to year ... it's not equal ... contracts are pro-rated, just he signing bonuses.

people can make educated "guesses" ... but petro can "know" :rolleyes:
