Up at least $11 million from last year. Good padding for us here

Good padding for everyone else too.

Nice. We need the extra breathing room.

Makes virtually no difference because it's all relative. Now other teams have even more cap room. The only way it makes a difference is if a player wants to be on the Chiefs' squad to begin, extra room will help us sign them.

During the FA signing competition is means nothing

7 of that will go to releasing Smith

$11 million would cover roughly 90% of Poe's franchise tag cost. It makes all the difference in the world.

Pats are going to have $70m in cap room. Christ.

holy shit ! By God you gotta respect that franchise.

Fair enough, it helps with a tag too but that still takes away from money you can use for FAs.

LMAO whoever changed that sig

I laugh everytime I see it.

Yep, I detest the team and fanbase but it's about more than just their QB.

Coaching is better
Salary cap control is better
Their teaching and use of scheme is THE BEST in the NFL
Players development is great
They seem to know when to keep/release players

Easy to not overspend on talent when Brady is your qb. Let's see if that formula still works for the Pats when he retires.

We have to overspend on positions like safety because the offense is a pile of shit.

The entire NFL is waiting for just that.

Even if you add another 10 million to Brady's cap number the team is still way under. Of course, you would have to pay more for WRs if you didn't have Brady as well. Brady makes all the WRs better.

So add another 10 million for the Edelman and Amendola positions.

20 million still puts the Patriots at 50 million under the cap

Amendola will have to restructure or get cut.
They still need to sign Hightower, Long, Bennett, Blount, Mingo, Vollmer
