The Jaguars do have to consider what tender to give Sensabaugh as an RFA coming off IR, but I don't think they'll go this high.

Titans = 36.6 M

Jags = 32.3 M

49ers = 30.3 M

Bengals = 30.2 M

Cards = 28.1 M

If we play our cards right we can use the money to get a few more key pieces and fight for a chance at a SB. The Tacks could be right on our heels. The AFC South will continue to be the best division in the NFL.

Prior to their final Playoff Game, Chad Owens was released with Charles Sharon activated from the Practice Squad as his replacement. I don't believe there's any money transactions involved for this year since the league pays for the players paychecks in the Postseason. Sharon is set to make a $370,000 base salary in 2008, and then he'll be a Jaguars EFA should he finish the season on the Jaguars roster.

There was also this recent Ask Vic Q & A...

Tom from Ponte Vedra Beach, FL: What advantage was it to Shantee Orr to sign a contract allowing the Jags to move $11 million into next year's cap.
Vic: When you’re nice, people are nice to you.

I'm guessing that Vic said this on the radio or somewhere, but does anyone know precisely where this came from? I assume this was another type of incentives deal where the $11 mil counted immediately as a Likely To Be Earned Incentive, and then with the incentive not met the league will add this amount to the Jaguars adjusted salary cap limit for 2008.

My big question here is, why only $11 mil. The Jaguars were something like $16 mil under, so I thought they'd move an amount closer to this figure. So if this is accurate and they only moved $11 mil, what about the other $5 mil.

As it stands I'm now showing the Jaguars at $5.06 mil under the 2007 cap, and I'm just not seeing how this money might have been spent since the last announcement that the team was around $16 mil under.

As any rate, looking ahead to next year it appears from the quote above this reply that the Jaguars are looking at being $32.3 mil under the 2008 cap prior to making any roster moves for the season. They since signed five of the eight players that finished the season on their Practice Squad.

• OT Andrew Carnahan
• CB Rashad Moulton
• QB Lester Ricard
• RB D.D. Terry
• WR D'Juan Woods

All five "first-year players" signed on for one season at the $295,000 rookie minimum. Carnahan replaced Ryan Gibbons as the OT on the Practice Squad going into week 3 while D'Juan Woods was signed just prior to the final Regular Season game when Chad Owens was activated. The other three (Moulton, Ricard and Terry) spent the entire season on the squad.

Looking at other players who were on the Practice Squad...

DT Walter Curry and their International Practice Squad Player, OT Samuel Gutekunst, were the only two players to spend the entire season on the squad without being resigned for 2008. TE Charles Davis was signed to the squad going into week 13 but also was not signed to the 2008 roster. Mincey and Smolko were activated to the roster mid-season, and both players are now set to be EFAs for 2008.

Subtracting $295,000 for each of these five additions, that $32.2 mil figure drops to $30.7 mil. Tacking on $11 mil for the Shantee Orr deal, my current extremely rough estimate for 2008 has the Jaguars at $41.7 mil under. They'll likely have a few more moves before the 2008 season officially begins on February 29th, including the handing out of tenders for EFAs and RFAs, which will probably knock this figure down to something like $35 mil.

On Wednesday the team signed Greg Jones, and fortunately the Rumer Mill at www.profootballtalk.com has already reported numbers per their "source." They appear legitimate so I've decided to go with them.

To best illustrate his new contract, I thought it best to simply list his cap hits over the next five years. This is what is termed a "flat contract"...

• 2008 - $2,625,000
• 2009 - $3,580,000
• 2010 - $3,600,000
• 2011 - $3,700,000
• 2012 - $4,000,000

Tack on another $3 mil in incentives, and we're talking about a 5-year contract worth up to $20.5 mil that includes $5 mil in total bonus money (including workout and active roster).

 

'02 Check out my CAP_INFO, and join my new WEBSITE. Coach Del Rio: "Respect every opponnent, and fear nobody."

• Kenneth Pettway signed a one-year deal for the veteran minimum of $520,000.
• Richard Angulo signed a three-year deal that I'm estimating is worth $2 mil. His base salaries over the next three years are $520,000, $650,000 and $800,000, and I'm estimating an additional $30,000 signing bonus.

Looking at the results I'm convinced that previous quotes mentioned in this thread already included the additional money carried over from the Shantee Orr deal. His deal added $11 mil to their adjusted cap, but I'm also figuring that there's about $2 mil in offsetting "Not Likely" incentives that were earned last year. So after adding $9 mil to the league base cap of $116 mil, I figure that the Jaguars "adjusted cap" is roughly $125 mil.

I'm estimating that about $3 mil is counting in the form of 2008 "Likely" incentives, and that another $2.87 mil is counting in total dead money. At this point my grand total shows the Jaguars at $31.47 mil under the cap, although this does not include tenders for the Jaguars RFAs or EFAs.

This figure appears to be in the ballpark of recent quotes. Since it's unclear precisely what was counting in those quotes I'm going to run with my own figure as being accurate until an official quote is reported in March.

Factoring in EFA and RFA tenders, should the Jaguars make no other roster moves before the start of free agency I figure they'll begin the new season at roughly $29.8 mil under the cap.

'02 Check out my CAP_INFO, and join my new WEBSITE. Coach Del Rio: "Respect every opponnent, and fear nobody."

Also, be sure to keep a close eye on any quote for where the Jaguars are under the cap. Adam Schefter recently reported a figure that's nearly $11 mil over my estimate, and that has me scratching my head if true because I've already included Orr's $11 mil "carry-over" deal in my estimate.

For now, prior to Gilbert and Reyes signing, my estimate remains $31.47 mil under.

'02 Check out my CAP_INFO, and join my new WEBSITE. Coach Del Rio: "Respect every opponnent, and fear nobody."

Gilbert, whose signing was announced last Thursday, now has an updated salary listing at the NFLPA. He signed a one-year contract with a $610,000. I'm estimating a $50,000 bonus for Gilbert which in turn gives him a $660,000 cap hit for the year.

More recently, I'm estimating that Reyes and Bouman both signed one-year contracts qualifying for the Beneficial Salary Program, which I believe is still in effect contract (although I would like to verify as much). Reyes carries a minimum salary of $720,000 while Bouman carries a $820,000 minimum salary, although I'm estimating that they both signed BPA contracts with a $10,000 bonus resulting in a $530,000 cap hit.

In a few more days they should have Reyes' and Bouman's salaries listed in order to verify they were both one-year deals, but I'm fairly confident they are. Given the above assumptions, I'm now showing the Jaguars at $30.64 mil under just prior to offering tenders to their free agents.
