Great point Mark. I believe it ends up being around 3-5M (rookies). No way it's going to be 13M.

The more rookies that make the team, more bigger money players are displaced, I'm guessing that would result in a net plus for us, salary cap wise.

quote: ORIGINAL: Pager Great point Mark. I believe it ends up being around 3-5M (rookies). No way it's going to be 13M. As stated, and written in the link, the $13 mil is for outlay to all rookies if they made the team. As stated, some won't, the cap of players they replace has to be subtracted out, and then you look at the 51 (which is speculation at this point). With the extra first and third, the $ for rookies will be larger than normal.

Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/21/2020 11:48:29 AM)
If we count carefully and project what slots will make the team and who will be out, we may be able to conjure up a few million. Yey us! It has to be a comedian's line: You know you are in cap hell when you are discussing the impact 5th-7th rounders will have on your cap.

We had a higher draft pick last year but an extra first this year.

ratoppenheimer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/21/2020 11:52:00 AM)
. . less than we thought.... Field Yates@FieldYates The Vikings converted $8M of DE Danielle Hunter’s base salary into a signing bonus, creating $6M of 2020 salary cap, per source. Some flexibility for Minnesota to accommodate their free agent signings. Ben Goessling@GoesslingStrib The Vikings have standard language in their player contracts -- Hunter's included -- that give them "the right, but not the obligation, to convert any portion of Player's Paragraph 5 salary into signing bonus" with only an email or a phone call to the player or his agent.

At various points these cap websites will list all 90 players on the roster, and various other contract info. They are not always accurate in real time. For instance they might be including signing bonus. Which is spread out over the 4yrs - it's why Treadwell had a cap hit in the last year of his rookie contract.

The #Vikings are expected to trade S Anthony Harris. A deal could be done as soon as next week. Minnesota is looking to acquire a offensive lineman in return for Harris. (SmartChoiceFootball on Twitter)

Plenty of personal foul penalties but weak in coverage. Harris for Bitonio

It's one thing to say they are "looking to" and another to say they are "going to". The speculation makes sense, though.

David F. -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/21/2020 8:24:14 PM)
Spotrac guesses at the 2020 rookie salary amounts at the following: #22 - $2.3 million #25 - $2.2 million #58 - $900k #89 - $740k #105 - $728k #132 - $684k #205 - $551k all subsequent picks - $551k or less so realistically only the first six picks will count against the cap (if they make the team) That amount is just over $7.5 million. That's the number.

David F. -> RE: General Vikes Talk (3/21/2020 8:27:20 PM)
We have about $4 million in actual cap space right now. (Do something with Rieff!).

Also if they trade Harris that frees up 11.x. Or they could give him a multi-year deal and work that 11.x down to 7 or 8.

We need to draft well - that’s going to be key over the next couple of years...I would support dropping back to an early 2nd and 3rd with both 1st rounders...I’ve lost my faith in 1st rounders - I see them as overvalued....
