After Nicks, Bucs $16.71 million under cap

TAMPA, Fla. -- I've got the details of how Carl Nicks' departure impacts the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' salary cap.



Nicks
Nicks left the Bucs last week after he was unable to recover from a toe injury. He had been scheduled to count $9.375 million against this year's cap.

But that number has taken a dramatic drop. Nicks now only counts $2.357 million toward this year's cap. He also will count $4.714 million against the 2015 cap.

With the adjustment for Nicks, the Bucs are now $16.71 million under this year's cap.

Nicks had $6 million of his $7 million base salary guaranteed for this year. The contract contained no offset language and the actual amount of money Nicks will receive will be reduced by severance pay and future retirement benefits.






Not too unhappy about this tbh. 4mill next year though, thats lame

where do you want to invest the cap space? I'm hoping for either another wr, or OL. maybe a slot receiver, as far as wr goes. Obviously with the loss at OL w/ Nicks that's something that should be addressed.

he's an idiot.

but the guard position is hurting. from what i hear that may be a huge area of need come next offseason (then again wasn't it already?)

I want Boon, but I also want to sign the shit outa Gerald. If we let it get to Franchise Tag, then i'll be FURIOUS with the team.

However - if we can somehow sign Gerald in the next offseason, then I vote that we buy some OL once they've been cut. Another mans trash n all that

This coming Friday fellas! It's almost game time ahhhhhhhhhhh yeaa

you want boon, but wanted to keep nicks? wut

What? Stop being a faggot

I said you want Boone but also wanted to keep Nicks, how fucking hard is that to understand?
