Too much cap space?

[Jasper]

Will it be possible that we might enter this season with over 10+million in unused cap space?

I do not see or hear any new signings happening.

 

[Jetstream Green]

I see at least two more signings

A strong chance of signing M.Robinson or a Muhammed after june 1st. I also see the Cards using the money towards contract extensions with LJ Shelton and Vandenbosch.

The Cardinals still have to spend more money, there is a rule about how much cap space you can take into the season.

Don't worry, they'll use the remainer of the cap. $17.8M under right now. The rookie pool is around $5M and they'll leave about $2M sign veterans in week two (Fina & Frederickson??) and other players if the injury bug arrives again this year.

That leaves about $10M. They'll probably sign two or three more guys (e.*. Robinson, Muhammed & McGlockton) and use the rest to extend players, since four starters becomes FA next year. (Shelton and Thompson becomes UFAs and KVB and Wilson becomes RFAs)

It would also be good to have 2-3 million in reserve - to reward a younger player(s) that have breakout seasons with extensions, and to be able to sign someone midseason if need arises.
