PFT report: No way Cards take on Petersons current salary

[POISON]

This is a no brainer. Plus, the usual "unnamed" source. Interesting about trading Fitz to the Vikings (never happen). http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...for-fitzgerald-trade-still-possible/#comments

Already posted in the source of all AP info.

 

[Goldfield]

No kidding?

New one: Cards trade 2nd rounder for AP and a 7th rounder. peter King claims no talks have taken place at all on another link, fwiw lol........... http://www.revengeofthebirds.com/20...-trading-a-2nd-round-pick-for-adrian-peterson

Cardinals didn't free up 10 mill for nothing. There is a deal to be had somewhere. The Carson Palmer redeal really messes the team up in 2 years. Carson goes to a 22 mill cap hit. I sure as heck don't hope that Keim did this 'thinking' he could get something done. If he did he shot off his nose...(you know the rest)

 

[Goldfield]

Yea we freed up cap space for somthing. Nobody is talking but I think we're going hot and heavy for AP

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

This should be in the AP thread, whippersnapper!

 

[POISON]

Apologies. If somebody wants to merge it , have at it......

Well we needed that money anyway. The Cards are around 8M under the cap and the rookie pool is nearly 5. That leaves a few mil to fill out the roster. Palmer restructuring doesn't them going after a big fish.

Iirc, rookie pool already factored in.

 

[Southpaw]

Isn't he entitled to $14BB this year?

yep

The 10 mill is for free spending now

They have to subtract 3 mill from that as working capital once the season starts...they keep that in the safe for injury replacements. So they are more in the ball park of playing with 7 mill this season prior to the season starting

Where are you seeing 10m available so I can find an accurate site?

Iupati's contract details haven't come through yet either.

My guess is Iupati's contract might be getting reworked to make room for AP? Iupati's first year might be something similar to Suh's with Miami, but a lower signing bonus. This will allow them to have $7mill +/- for AP's restructure.

Ah cool. OTC has it. He has a $4mil roster bonus that could be converted if needed, right?

 

[gmabel830]

Should we start scouting 2017 prospects now? Definitely seems like we have a two year plan.

You blow. You're just mad you didn't get a pic with AP in the airport. You're like one of those garden gnomes dude, popping up behind garbage cans and trees and latrines in France.
