Cap Update

Here's how the numbers breakdown for the Skins' recent moves (since the last cap sheet update 2/7). The info out there is sketchy so these are my best estimates. Also this doesn't include Barrow or Patten. The post is a little long, so if you just want the summary scroll to the bottom.

(All figures in 000s)

Excellent CrazyCanuck I was wondering where we stood. Thanks for all your hard work and effort :thumb:

Good to know... Maybe we can actually SAVE some money this year and not break the bank on those "big" signings. I just want to see another good pick in the draft like Taylor was. I also LOVE the Patten signing. That way if Jacobs doesn't pan out, we might have another good WR from the draft.

I second that, thanks a bunch.

It's like magic with this guy. Numbers just appear... definitely a good job.

Thanks Crazy C!! You're work dosent go unoticed, great post!

Excellent. Thanks Canuck.

Great job CC. Thanks for the info.

Canuck, I absolutely love that you keep track of the salary cap like this. I noticed one thing though on Rabach's salary cap figures. It appears that you are allocating the $4.5 million in bonuses over the life of Rabach's contract. This should be done for the $2.5 million signing bonus, but not for the $2 million roster bonus. Roster bonuses only hit the cap in the year that they are paid out.

Thanks for the good work man, I love your spreadsheet.
