[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 779028"] It took several different seach strings, but I found the answer: "The Packers’ [B]adjusted cap number is $185,153,268[/B], which includes $3,934,518 in cap space they are carrying over from 2017 and [B]$4,018,750 in unidentified credits and adjustments[/B]. [URL]https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2018/03/09/sizing-up-packers-salary-cap-space-entering-free-agency/410810002/[/URL] Again, while the NFLPA does not break out dead cap, the one aggregate number where spotrac and and overthecap are in very close agreement is the dead cap amount, $8,026,067 vs. $8,031,090, respectively. If we add $8.03 mil for dead cap to the NFLPA Carryover and Team Cap we get an [B]adjusted cap number of $185,611,629. [/B]The discrepancy is less than $500,000 which could be accounted for in a variety of ways given arcane provisions such as, "The Packers’ cap room may go down another $700,000 when the new year starts because the tolled contract of cornerback Demetri Goodson will show up again on their cap. Goodson was on the physically unable to perform list most of last year and did not appear in a game". Or the dead cap numbers could be wrong. It's pretty disappointing that web sites that do this for a living cannot incorporate high level aggreagate numbers that have been in the public domain for 3 months. You'd think, at the very least, they would check the NFLPA web site's Cap Room, identify major discrepencies with their own numbers, and then work their way backward to figure out where they are off. So here we are, doing it for them. I think it is fair to say that henceforth the NFLPA's Cap Room is the number to reference for available cap space after allowing a bit of time for announced contracts and cuts to flow into that number. As a TE, I would think Lewis has been used only sporadically in pass blocking. A steady diet of reps and some "coach him up" might do the trick. :whistling: [/QUOTE]
