So why did the Bucs need to clear so much cap room anyways? Would it really have been the worst thing in the world to have Revis for another year at least?

Of course they're expected to be, just like they were expected to be in the mix for Byrd before they signed Average McHighmotor

I'm disappointed that Jacoby Jones stayed in Baltimore because the Giants were rumored to be trying to get him and I really would have wanted the Giants to pay him to be a #2

If we land Revis that would be great but hopefully we can generate pressure on the QB for it to matter having an elite #1 CB. If we enter the season with Dennard / Ryan I'm going to die. Maybe the corpse of Champ Bailey has something left.

Is there a website that gives up to date salary cap figures? Interested in knowing what the Bucs have with their new FA signings and Revis being cut.

With Revis being cut they have about 16.5 million left in cap space, according to this (which was written before Revis' release):

http://www.bucsnation.com/2014/3/12/5500776/buccaneers-cap-space-estimate-0-5-million-left

edit: whoops, that's without McCown apparently, so its down to 12.5 million now.

Three times when you meet them in the playoffs. :cool:

Great signing though. With the double and triple coverage on Megaton Tate is going to thrive. He's great after the catch and if the corner covering him misses you are getting a huge gain. That offense is going to be a ton of fun.

I'll just say that if you're planning on bringing in a 1st round QB, I would totally consider throwing a few million at Sanchez so they can sit for at least the first half year and learn.

Plus it should set those expectations nice and low for when the draftee does come in.

I mean, Jets fans that want Revis back need to come to terms with the fact that Woody Johnson thinks Schwartz/Feinsod are literally Hitler. He ordered Revis to be traded just so he didn't have to deal with his agents again.

So with all these signings eating up the Broncos' cap, is it safe to say that Knowshon Moreno and Robert Ayers are out the door too? If so, then drat. I like those guys. I don't know how much cap room they have left after Ware.

Pretty huge turnover in the lineups for the Broncos overall though... Decker, Woodyard, Phillips, and DRC are pretty much gone. Beadles and Champ are already gone. Every one of those guys was starting at some point.

Free agency :allears:

The Ravens are out of the Steve Smith hunt. Apparently his agent told Baltimore that Smith had reached an agreement with another team which will be announced shortly.

Golden Tate has a very similar playing style to Steve Smith, though obviously far less talented, and he is amazing at competing for jump balls.
