http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_football_dolphins/2012/02/nfl-salary-cap-projections-for-2012-season.html POSSIBLE BIG SPENDERS Teams that have the cap space to make big moves in free agency. Cincinnati Bengals $80,641,237 Tennessee Titans $92,739,765 Washington Redskins $94,351,284 Kansas City Chiefs $95,844,195 Tampa Bay Buccaneers $98,899,458 Atlanta Falcons $100,227,174 Denver Broncos $101,389,121 New England Patriots $101,827,381 Chicago Bears $101,887,741 San Francisco 49ers $102,938,980 Cleveland Browns $103,789,162 WORKING ON A BUDGET Teams that aren't up against the cap, but need to make smart moves to avoid trimming a ton of players and salaries. Jacksonville Jaguars $107,270,274 Buffalo Bills $108,426,522 Seattle Seahawks $111,742,430 San Diego Chargers $111,960,165 New Orleans Saints $113,358,069 Philadelphia Eagles $113,964,694 Baltimore Ravens $115,670,281 Minnesota Vikings $116,078,422 Houston Texans $116,306,676 Miami Dolphins $116,636,173 Indianapolis Colts $116,773,288 Green Bay Packers $118,001,169 Arizona Cardinals $118,787,639 TIGHTENING THE BELT Teams that will be at, or over the projected salary cap once they've signed the rookie class. These teams must purge their roster moving forward. The higher the cap number, the more drastic the cut backs need to be. St. Louis Rams $120,982,904 Detroit Lions $122,760,121 New York Giants $124,735,807 New York Jets $128,092,733 Dallas Cowboys $128,910,735 Carolina Panthers $129,962,768 Oakland Raiders $140,861,316 Pittsburgh Steelers $149,885,537 Looks like I am missing some, I had us at 82M, so 20M off, which shocks me, could be incentives and escalators achieved. Cap should be between 120.375M and 123.375M

Thanks, good to see every likely NFC contender is in one of the bottom 2 categories, and Giants, Cowboys, Raiders, Rams and Lions (5 teams I dislike most) all over the cap. Plus the Steelers way over, making a 7th SB more unlikely.

Yikes, 20 million is a bit less then we all would like. Looks like enough to re-sign our own guys/incoming rookies and we might have to tag Goldson but I don't think we can get any outsiders who are more than role players.

These numbers may include the one time triggers for Mike Iupati and Anthony Davis, Iupati's is $3,682,762 and Davis' is $1,919,900 which adds on $5,601,762 onto the 82M. Which leaves over 14M un-accounted for.

How would the Tards or Dolphins ever make a reasonable move for Manning?

How the F are the Cardinals and Rams at $120MM?? There is almost nobody of note on either roster. Terrible franchises, top to bottom.

Cardinals fans talking about trying to unload Dockett and his massive salary for a 2nd round pick.

Terrible. This isn't 2008.

Cards hold a 7M option on Kevin Kolb coming up in march. But they will need to do some contract manuevering.

Ya AB, when I saw the article on the main page I was confused because u said were were at like 88 million. Not like you to be 20 million off. I could see a mill or two but 20. Gotta pick up your game son...
