As of this morning, there are five teams over the salary cap: OAK $15.25 mil; PITT $8.5m; DET $7.8m; DALLAS $6.7m: HOUSTON $3.25m.

per a couple of Steeler reports, the $8.5m figure, doesn't include the 5 restructures completed for Ben, Harrison, Kemo, Heath, and Keisel (I think). Not sure where they fall after those are accounted for.

Also heard the Steelers are in talks with Woodley, but as of yesterday they aren't close on numbers yet. After what Harris got from the Jets, I'm wondering what Woodley is wanting...

Well, as of today, PFT has us at around $3.5 million under.

Can't imagine Pollard took up $3 million off the cap this year.

Grain of salt with all this. No one seems to have any clue where anyone is under the cap. I don't know that I've seen any site that has info consistent with any other site when it comes to how far under/over the cap any team is.

The problem is the fluidity of this free agency period.

The second you post an "updated" cap list, someone signs with Team X and the list is immediately obsolete.

backup QB- $1-2 mill
Vet WR- $3-4 mill
backup RB- $1-2 mill
vet OL (center/guard)- $1-2 mill
vet OL (RT)- $1-2 mill

I sure hope you are right about the cap space.
Getting a decent RT and depth for the OL is imperative for me.
Not so worried about the skill positions, but if they don't address the Oline i think the season may be a wash.

According to Florio from about 3 minutes ago, the Ravens are $3,558,000 below the cap.

I wonder what Oakland does to shed $15MM+ against the cap. I think DHB counts $7MM or more, but I suspect it would hurt them worse to cut them, with accelerated money, than to keep him. The are paying the "other" corner, Routt a lot too, aren't they?

Routt has a $10M salary this year. They could have kept Nnamdi around for just a smidgen more.

Routt=$20M guaranteed
Nnamdi=$25M guaranteed
