Lance Briggs - Potential Free Agent

But the 23 million over the cap figure also contains a roster bonus to Cooley that is worth like 12 million, and he's going to receive it as a signing bonus, which will shave 10 million dollars off that 23 million number.

Realistically, we are working 13 million over right now.

Excellent point. The last time I ran that cap analysis, Cooley's new contract wasn't yet reflected in Canuck's cap sheets, and yet I was still going off King's number of $20 million over which included the $12 million roster bonus.

Long story short, I need to update my numbers. I'll do so in a new thread. The picture just got singificantly better.
