Money left

[cavincali]

Their was all kinds of speculation on how much money the Browns had going into the offseason. From the general concensus we had aorund 27 million. With the signing of Bentley, 6 mil, Joe 2.5 mill, Schaffer 5 mil, Washington 3.5 mill, Zast, cheap we should have around roughly 10 million left for this year. OF course this is saying that the contracts are averaged out per year.

How should we go about spending it???

Since their are still plenty of holes in the defense I think Phil should get a couple of players instead of going after someone real expensive like Lavar Arington. However you dont want to get a couple of players that are just average and wont help the team in a big way.

if we can get a lavar or peterson here i would love it.the problem is their agents are the postons and that means a lot of money and i mean a lot of money will be spent.

Tell the Postons we are thinking about cutting Winslow and that should dramatically cut their demands for Arrington and Peterson

Do we need to save cap space for signing rookies? If not, then we should go after some vet leadership in the linebacker core, seeing as we will likely go after a young stud in the first round... Haloti Ngata, Chad Greenway, Bobby Carpenter...

Or.. pick up a quickity quick running back to complement Droughns' tough power running.. it seems that we're set at nearly every position in terms of the balance of experience and talent potential...

I thought it was something like 5 million for the rooks ?

Hmm now it might be just me, but don't 1st round picks where we're at usually commaned 3-4 million? Not to mention 2nd rounders being around a million then a few hundred K and so on? How's that enough?

Or is it after we make more June 1st cuts or what?

Last years #12 pick got a 5 year 12 million dollar contract with 9 million guaranteed. I would think this years #12 will get closer to 5 years and 15 million. You structure the deal so that he gets rookie minimum base the first season(approximately 300K) and maybe like a 6 million dollar bonus, which is prorated against the cap at 1.2 million a year. So this years #1 would count roughly for 1.5 million vs the cap. The second rounder will probably cost about 800k vs the cap, the third roughly 600k, and then maybe something like 500/400/400/400 for the rest of the draft. So it costs approximately 4.6 to sign all your rookies. But when you add all of those cap hits to the "top 51" salaries on the payroll, it knocks off 7 minsal contracts, meaning the net amount the rookies end up costing is roughly 2.5-2.7 million total vs this years cap.

And also you can't line Winslow next to Heiden they have to be on opposite sides of the offensive line.
