It would be interesting to put last year's salaries, so we can compare them.

That's only a $15K increase for Demski. I projected more so this is a good deal.

I've been updating as we went along.

Please let me know if I missed a salary (and source it)

Feel free to add this information on an excel spreadsheet and try and figure out what the remaining salaries are. 3 Down will release more salary information as the season starts.

A few notes:

1) I don't think we have a lot of money left after signing a good DE, an O-lineman and a draft pick or two. The bombers usually like to keep a bit of money available for NFL cuts.

2) The fact I did this myself pokeys a hole in 3 down nation's argument that it can't be done.

I guess this would be a great place to discuss the SMS thoughts and how I don't see how we are fitting all of these new splash FAs under the cap.

We still have to fill out the rest of the roster. Does this mean any remaining middling or $25k-over-ELC guys are all going to be passed over in favor of a ton of ELC's?

Or did we have/spend way more '25 SMS before Dec 31 than anyone thought, leaving tons of room in the '26 SMS?

Or are we finally taking the BC approach to going over cap and using more MMM?

Money left from 2025 used before the end of 2025. Taking full advantage of the $400K and new $200K SMS to spend this season.

Yeah, a lot of our big re-signings happened in December. That's a lot of signing bonuses against the 2025 cap.

Not to mention the Logan's, Mitchell's, and Vaughters' who we moved on from.

Maybe. Maybe not. Signing in December doesn't automatically mean the signing bonuses are against last years cap.

No but it's reasonable to think that is the case. We see that every off season. So the list of salaries is interesting but we really don't know what the 2026 breakdown as it relates to the SMS will be.

We will see whether any team exceeded the 2025 SMS but I doubt that at the moment. It could be telling even if some teams exceed which might suggest they took a hit against 2025 to reduce 2026.

Reasonable doesn't equal "is true" no matter how you want to spin it.

Its by far the most likely scenario. Short of Techno hacking into Walters computer, "likely" is the highest degree of certainty the forum can attain.
