Not too shabby.

The didn't count or true starting DL. But it is very interesting.

 

[White Devil]

That is pretty astounding. $17.5M per season is unbelievable.

True, but it's close to our Nickel D.

I so hope that we face and beat Peyton in the Super Bowl. He's the last elite QB for our D to knock off.

What a great statement of the importance of team and defense over the bloat of QB superstardom and one-man teams that would be.

Wow that's nuts

A lot of our guys are mid-round draft picks playing on their rookie deals, hence why the cap number is so low. Believe me, Schneider and Carroll have a lot of decisions to make coming up regarding all these young guys, we're not going to be able to keep all of them

That's what future drafts are for. Carroll and crew will continue to work their magic and the cycle will continue I believe in them

Wow. So glad we didn't sign Manning.

I want us to play the Broncos in the SB. Manning vs our D.

 

[ZagHawk]

Yeah but in fairness Manning is like an entire offense on his own.

How much does Percy make compared to our Defense?
Our guys will eventually get paid. Most likely not by Seattle, though.
Lots of them have earned big money, based on their performance the past few years.
We didnt' draft well last year and might have issues replacing some of those guys.

Why would anyone want to play D elsewhere? Unless the team makes the choice for them.
