Colts Salary Cap Update – Regular Season 2018
[b][u]Cap Calculations: [\u][\b]
$177.200m = NFL 2018 Salary Cap $016.837m = 2017 Colts Cap Rollover ========== $194.037m = Colts 2018 Salary Cap $129.840m = 53 Active Contracts $000.404m = Robert Turbin’s additional cap once he is reinstated for week 5 $010.837m = Injured Reserve $003.763m = Dead Money $001.292m = Practice Squad ============ $146.136m = Total Obligations $047.901m = Free Space (of which at least $3m is reserved for in-season “churn” space so $45.9m usable to sign free agents / grant contract extensions / give new contracts.) [b][u]Top Ten Cap Hits: [\u][\b] $24.400m = QB Andrew Luck $13.000m = WR T.Y. Hilton $10.800m = OT Anthony Castonzo $07.500m = DE Jabaal Sheard $07.000m = DT Denico Autry $06.750m = TE Eric Ebron $05.618m = TE Jack Doyle $05.000m = WR Ryan Grant $04.343m = OG Quinton Nelson (R) $03.625m = PK Adam Vinatieri (When a rookie and your place kicker make the top ten cap hits list, you know you have a low paid squad…..) [b][u]Top Ten Creates The Most Cap Space If Cut: [\u][\b] $9.000m = WR T.Y. Hilton $4.368m = TE Jack Doyle $4.250m = DE Jabaal Sheard $3.200m = OT Anthony Castonzo $2.500m = DE Margus Hunt $2.500m = NT Al Woods $1.907m = OT Denzell Good $1.907m = OG Mark Glowinski $1.625m = PK Adam Vinatieri $1.328m = OG Matt Slauson (Not much fat to cut there. Hunt? Glowinski? Peanuts to find. Peanuts.) Cap wise, we are obviously in great shape. Cap obligations actually go DOWN over the next couple of years with our current crop of players. 2018 / 53 players under contract = $129.840m in cap hit 2019 / 42 players under contract = $117.390m in cap hit 2020 / 27 players under contract = $079.603m in cap hit Ballard still has a completely free hand in how he constructs the roster. Lots of space to add new free agents or give current performers extensions / new contracts. No need to worry anytime soon about the Polian era (restructuring) contracts to get under the cap. Walk Worthy, |
Interesting to note that we spend the least of any team on our defense and have the youngest team in the league. We also have rookies at head coach ahd both coordinators. This is going to be a wild up (hopefully) and down year with hopefully a lot of growth.

One thing I'm certain of, it will be an improvement over last season, in both games won and excitement generated.

Its good to be in flexible cap space
But still frustrating to have so much money to spend and big holes on DL and right tackle especially |

But you have a QB coming off basically two missed seasons and a near career ending shoulder injury, you can't tell me with that much free agent money you couldn't find SOMEONE to pay, even if you overpay for a few years while you develop someone, to play right tackle. There is no more time to be patient with the OL. Its been a decade and now two injured all pro level QBs that almost ended their careers over playing behind this OL. |
