Great news! Hate those long drawn out affairs, especially now when the deals are basically set from the get-go.

And just like that, there went the cap space.

My belief is OTC is wrong on cap space by about $800K. The fact that the Seahawks signed Murphy without any apparent off-setting move, bears that out.

Its ok I hear the Seahawks are holding both a car wash and bake sales to cover the cap

Glad he's signed. Hoping he goes out there and shuts me up, wins DROY and becomes a household name

I’d go if there was a lemonade stand

Wear a tshirt that says “Life” and hand out lemons.

Thanks.

Jason Fitzgerald offers his numbers as a stated close approximation. Sportrac is showing today's cap space at $251,658. For a spread of $664,691 between OTC and Sportrac. The NFL Players Association, which generally lags behind media announcements has the current Seahawks cap space at $2,387,573.

It's my understanding that a team, at this time of the season, can go over the cap temporarily. But is discouraged from signing additional players until back under the cap limit. There is also the contract mechanism of effective date. It's my understanding that the player's union doesn't report cap figures to the public until contracts are summited and accepted by both the league and union. Unpublished details contribute to the generation of different numbers from various sources.

I thought only the top 53 salaries count against the cap?

The current cut off at OTC is the top 51 scheduled cap charges during the off season.

That changes when teams report their roster cut down to 53 prior to the regular season.

Good. It's nice that he's not a drama queen. Time to get down to business.
