There are team options after each year. $5.5M in year 1. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 4, 2017 Author Posted August 4, 2017 No. I am just surprised. They have to move on some guys to make some space. Quote
oldno82 Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Shame about Gilmore but somebody had to go and the guy couldn't stay healthy. Quote
ravinmaniac52 Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 Gilmore may find himself back on the team once the toilet has been flushed Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 6, 2017 Author Posted August 6, 2017 They can't pick him up now. They don't have a spot for him. Maybe he would go to the PS but I doubt it. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 7, 2017 Author Posted August 7, 2017 I would not waste the cap space. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Considering Howard hasn't even reported to practice yet... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 7, 2017 Author Posted August 7, 2017 I was wondering what that was about too. In that he was cut from NO after I think 5 days warning flags could be coming. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Maybe not passing the conditioning test? Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 7, 2017 Author Posted August 7, 2017 Could be. They should just be transparent. Quote
oldno82 Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 According to Hensley, Howard hasn't been cleared by trainers yet so maybe conditioning test is the story. Or, maybe he hurt himself over the weekend moving here. That would be about par for this team, this training camp.Also Hensley says Joe had a second opinion last week and prognosis was for a'slow return.'Good news is hard to find for this team. Quote
vmax Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 This is going to be a fun team to watch this year.The best team since the Super Bowl squad. Quote
ravinmaniac52 Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Cant take anymore. Going to my room and listen to Simon & Garfunkel Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 9, 2017 Author Posted August 9, 2017 Apparently they didn't get it under the cap.Does anyone know what the penalty is for going over the cap? Quote
tsylvester Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Apparently they didn't get it under the cap.Does anyone know what the penalty is for going over the cap?Penalties include fines and/or forfeiture of draft picks. In recent history both the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers have been penalized draft picks, while the 49ers' front office personnel (Carmen Policy and Dwight Clark) were also fined. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 https://twitter.com/FieldYates/status/895609571678576640 Source: the Ravens converted $7.725M of CB Jimmy Smith's $8.5M base salary into a signing bonus, creating $5.15M in cap space. Quote
tsylvester Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Plenty of room to add another player who may get cut later this summer.. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 They may need it for insurance throughout the season Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 10, 2017 Author Posted August 10, 2017 With the way injuries are piling up they need space for signings. Also blowing up future caps is not wise. Quote
