Sportrac is the best site for cap figures. They have it down to the penny and correct every year.
Falcons cap numbers.
Right now, to be exact, we are $37.9M under the cap. BUT, you need to take away $6.2M for all our draft selections and $2.4M for Matt Bryant's cap hit, which hasn't officially been reported yet, but per PFT that's supposedly what his cap hit is.
So that puts us at $29.3M under.
But I don't think we're done with cuts yet. Plus I think we re-sign guys like Weems, Spoon, Allen, Yates, Lowery, Wilson, and maybe Peters, plus a few of the cheap depth guys like Pascoe, Carimi, Johnson, and/or Godfrey.
I think guys like Babineaux, Hawley, Konz, and Holmes could all still get released. Each of them have much higher cap hits than their dead money if cut. Letting go of Hawley would save us $3M and Babs would save us $2.3M.
Although Hawley is a perfect zone-blocking scheme fit, so there's a good chance he stays if he's back from his injury. He's really athletic and was playing awesome at C before he got hurt. He'd be even better under Shannahan's offense I suspect. So we'll see I guess. The day isn't over, and FA runs for another 2 weeks.
