I don't trust Gil Arcia tbh, so I doubt that number

… RT @GilArciaTBC: NFLPA records has the #Bucs cap space at $39,176,539.00 as of 8pmWhat?! That can't be right.....can it? We still have $40M left in cap space? I....uhhhh......noway. That has to be wrong. Right?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have around $11.25 million in salary cap space left, if my quick calculation is correct. The Bucs entered free agency with approximately $24 million in salary cap space, and have spent like crazy since then -- but they've also cut Donald Penn and Darrelle Revis, saving themselves nearly $25 million in cap space.This estimate is a lot more accurate than yesterday's quick calculation, because we now know Alterraun Verner's numbers (courtesy of ESPN), as well as Michael Johnson's (again, ESPN). Both of those deals are slightly front-loaded, in terms of cash and cap both. That made me estimate Anthony Collins' year one salary as slightly higher than the $6 million he's set to earn per year, on average.Aside from Collins' salary, Jamon Meredith and Danny Gorrer are the only estimates in the group, so we have a very good idea of the team's salary cap space. I'm not counting the exclusive rights free agents the team re-signed, because those generally get extremely low salaries (around $.5 million each), could be cut without any cap ramifications, and wouldn't be among the team's top 51 contracts, anyway, which is what matters during the offseason.Keep in mind that the Bucs will have to keep around $3 million free to sign their draft picks, per Over the Cap, while also needing some space to sign players during the season to compensate for injuries, and run their practice squad. This means they effectively have around $6 million in space they can spend in free agency. However, they can still create some extra space by releasing or demanding pay cuts of players like Michael Koenen, Connor Barth and Jeremy Zuttah.Initial cap space: $24 millionAdditions:Michael Johnson: $9 millionAlterraun Verner: $8 millionAnthony Collins: $7 million (est.)Josh McCown: $4.75 millionClinton McDonald: $3.5 millionBrandon Myers: $2 millionJamon Meredith: $1 million (est.)Danny Gorrer: $1 million (est.)Cap cuts:Donald Penn, -$7.42 million (Overthecap.com)Darrelle Revis, -$16 millionTotal: $12.83 millionCap space: $11.17 million http://www.bucsnation.com/2014/3/13/5505704/nfl-salary-cap-update-buccaneers-have-11-25-million-in-cap-space-left

This includes every signing and cut except for Collins. We have about $14M. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tampa-bay-buccaneers/cap-hit/
http://overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Jon%20Asamoah&Position=G&Team=Falcons Very jealous. Damn. Wanted him and that is such a great contract for the Falcons.

Doesn't have Meredith. First I've seen of McCown's details. overthecap still doesn't have it. Clean cut in 15? There's that at least I guess.
@RapSheet: Source: Ex-#Seahawks CB Brandon Browner has reached a two-year agreement with the #Patriots. Must serve 4-game suspension to start 2014
Pats clearly gearing to stop Manning.
Browner hasn't signed anywhere.
Just some interesting stuff I noticed while looking over the cap.....Nicks, Goldson, Koenen, and Mike Williams account for just over $25M in 2015....but none of them will likely be here in 2015. Figure in the $10M projected cap increase and we have $35M in cap space next year even if we max out the cap this year. Plus, as of right now we only have $111M on the books for 2015, so all together we are talking around $50M in cap space in 2015. Our only FAs are McCoy, Clayborn, and Foster. Should be no concerns about spending every cent this year.

overthecap has it now. Pretty much the same thing. http://overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Josh%20McCown&Position=QB&Team=Buccaneers 2014 fully guaranteed. 2015 is a clean cut.
Collins deal is up as well: http://overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Anthony%20Collins&Position=RT&Team=Buccaneers Love it. Another all guaranteed money in the first two seasons contract. *Guess it was 9 mil guaranteed.*
Kind of weird we still don't have the details on the Meredith contract. I guess no one is breaking down the doors at one buc to get those deets prolly.
Raiders sign Woodley to a 2 year deal.The Raiders receive a lot of flack but they have a chance to put it together especially since they signed Tuck too.

This doesn't show Joseph's cut, which was significant.
