[QUOTE="Carl, post: 550539, member: 9497"] I can certainly argue after looking at the stats. [B]$55 million (6th in the league) for only four players in 2017. [/B] The cap is projected to be $160 million by 2016. Say it stays at that for 2017. $55 million is about 34% of the cap. Currently, they have about $44 million in their top four guys or 33% of the cap. Not a big increase. [B]$118 million (10th most in the league) in cap space for the 2015 season[/B] At the beginning of free agency this year, they had[B] [/B]74.4% of the cap used up. The cap for next year is projected to be $140-145 million. The $118 million would be 81-84% used. An increase, but still leaves plenty of room with $22 to 27 million available. [B]$86 million towards the cap in 2016 [/B] The $86 million includes the cap impact of 18 players. Currently, the top 18 players take up more, with about $95 million dollars. Plus, TT will keep filling the roster with more cheap, young players than expensive veterans, while many other teams will use free agency much more. Therefore, their projected money used compared to the rest of league will improve. Yes, Cobb and Nelson need some big deals, but with the cap increases, looks like they have room. [/QUOTE]
