I don't buy it but whatever

The most selfless player in NFL history. They should rename the Hall after him. LMAO

Maybe he's a guy that is married to more money than he himself makes, or could make even if he did get the maximum he could earn, so he can afford to care more about winning.

The Patriots don't 'need' to sign anyone. They've never flinched to any players demands because they don't have to anymore with Brady and the culture that has been built over there.

Vollmer is a backup now and Bingo and Long are practically JAGs. They will more than likely use more cap space to add big time players and further increase the gap in the AFC. (Like Revis in 2014)

That probably hits the nail on the head

Quite likely, but would any of us be shocked to find out he has some side deal in place with the Patriots like Elway did with the Broncos in his later seasons?

Not at all.

Unless we tag Berry, every team will have 11 million more to offer him.

That goes for every free agent AND every potential free agent.

A big salary cap jump means every team will have more to keep their potential FAs. Which means less talent on the market to go after, reducing the talent pool available.

It's all relative

Now it does help if you want to tag someone immediately. We won't have to cut someone because of the tag. Means Dorsey won't have to restructure stuff or make as many early cuts. But in the big picture, it doesn't change much.

Just means that NFL players will make more money this year en masse.

In the end, it's still going to come down to which team wants to spend and how smart they are about spending what they have.

11 million more is a positive for this team.

I'm just shocked you'd see it some other way.

Laz has been quite the glass-half-empty type of guy lately.

Well, the Chiefs are right up against it then.

Overthecap updated their #'s to reflect $168 million.

Chiefs have $10.5 million available but Berry isn't listed. It is probably more like 5

Right now it shows their cap at $173 million and we have $10.5 in space. Once they get it down to $168 and add Berry's contract, we will likely break even around $0.
