Current cap room?

CC, I notice on your sheets (at least in your update posted Jan 18th), you have Samuels on the books for $8.6 million for 2007 and Portis for $7.0 million.

I'm pretty sure Jason La Canfora gets his information from Rule of 51, which said the Skins were $6.0 million under the cap as of Feb 27th. This information says both Samuels and Portis will count $6.2 million each in 2007.

So that's a source of definite discrepency between your sheet and the one he's using. But looking at Samuels' and Portis' contracts, I think your numbers are probably right because you're factoring in allocated portions of their original signing bonuses, plus bonuses from recent restructures/extensions. I'm not sure this other page is doing that part correctly (they don't break down the numbers like you do, so I'm just educated-guestimating).

That, plus your Brunell calculations that aren't yet posted, probably make up the difference between your numbers and LaCanfora's. Yes, no, maybe so?
