Go take a quick look at the front page of

and you'll see that not many teams have wiggle room at the moment.
What's really surprising this year is how many teams won't have any wiggle room at the deadline either.
On the bright side we may be able to take advantage of this year and everyone having cap problems by taking on an expiring salary of a disappointing player. Burke has the opportunity to really work his cap space this deadline and try to charge a premium for teams needing some cap dumps. |
Hope so, we keep hearing about that option. Would be great to get a decent but over priced vet and a bunch of picks for Grats as an example (his contract is near the min).
