Cap

Also McClain reported in an early report that the Texans had taken the 3MM exemption from another year this year, is PFT counting those dollars also?

Yepper, your right. Tweet from Jabba this morning:
@McClain_on_NFL: By restructuring the contracts of Andre Johnson, DeMeco Ryans and Antonio Smith, the Texans are $2.6 million under the salary cap.

Ok, started work this morning pulling together salary and bonus date to hopefully someday get a 2011 and 2012 cap page put back up on the site.

Need some help tracking down bonus info for a couple rookies: Keo, Yates, Ozougwu, plus a I gave a decent estimate on Ben Tate, but nothing specific. I'm also making a guesstimate on Kareem Jackson's bonus info (guaranteed money != signing bonus . . . all reports I have talk about KJack's guaranteed money).

Also, Kevin Walter's bonus from his new contract last year is actually a roster bonus (this is good news). Makes me wonder about other signings from last year (like Wade Smith) and whether that was a roster bonus vs. a signing bonus. It's a big difference since a 2010 roster bonus has no cap implications.

I don't have info yet on the restructured contracts, so I might have to guess there. Andre Johnson's deal just keeps getting more complex, lol. I'm also locked out from getting base salary data whenever I want, though I got some fresh info yesterday, which helps a ton.

Ok, fingers crossed...
