New CBA gives teams the right to carry over cap space automatically | ProFootballTalk

Under Article 13, Section 6(b)(v) of the CBA, each team may carry over any remaining cap room from one year to the next by submitting written notice, signed by the owner of the team, to the league office no later than 14 days before the start of the next league year. The written notice must indicate the maximum amount of cap room that the team wishes to shift from one cap year to the next.

Anyone know how much cap room we could potentially carry over?

the plague would need more than $2.5 mill/yr to ride the pine in N.O.?

That’s not much, but it’s enough to make a difference on keeping Drew & Nicks… if they get some serious negotiating in soon…

I was told there would be no math

The Saints have a little more than 4 million...

which will roll over automatically from last year. Along with some restructured contracts, we should be able to keep all of the marquee players from last year. I realize that Brees, Colston, and Nicks are all top priority, but I really do not want to lose Robert Meachem. He has been very solid and can really stretch the field.

I want it all, and I want it now (to quote a rock n’ roll legend).

Not automatically. They have to ask for it to roll over.

They’d be stupid not to ask. But they don’t have to.

by FriarBob on Feb 13, 2012 8:09 AM CST up reply actions

I wonder...

…if Benson is ok with spending more money this year than he originally planned. That 4M roll over plus possibly upfront money while restructuring some contracts could mean over 10M he didn’t expect to spend THIS year.

Repeat? Run it!
