They may not be done just yet....

From PFT:
We previously obtained the salary cap room (or lack thereof) for each team as of Tuesday. Several of you have asked for something more current.

Your wish is our command.

Here’s the info as of Thursday.

The teams with cap space, a day before all teams must be in compliance, are as follows: Buccaneers ($ 29,560,000); Chiefs ($ 28,431,000); Jaguars ($ 28,000,000); Browns ($ 27,620,000); Bengals ($ 27,164,000); Broncos ($26,542,000); Bills ($ 23,460,000); 49ers ($ 22,570,000); Bears ($ 19,300,000); Seahawks ($ 16,387,000); Cardinals ($ 14,603,000); Redskins ($ 11,450,000); Packers ($ 11,106,000); Jets ($ 8,920,000); Dolphins ($ 8,446,000); Colts ($7,925,000); Titans ($ 7,127,000); Saints ($ 7,027,000); Patriots ($ 5,264,000); Chargers ($ 5,031,000); Eagles ($4,604,000); Ravens ($ 3,558,000); Panthers ($ 1,915,000); Vikings ($ 938,000); Falcons ($811,000); Giants ($623,000); Rams ($621,000).

The teams in the red are: Raiders ($15,246,000); Steelers ($8,597,000); Lions ($7,793,000); Cowboys ($6,671,000); and Texans ($3,358,000).
By tomorrow at 4:00 p.m., there should be no teams in the red.

This is supposedly thru today, doesn't give a definitive time line, IE does this include Smith, Ryans, and AJ's restructures, but would assume it does.

Since their "only" $3.5MM away, I still look for the Schaub extension to happen. My hunch, and I have absolutely no basis for this, is that they didn't want to have practice this morning with 1 QB, so they are waiting till the CBA is ratified to pull the trigger on it. Since it was ratified today, they have till 4PM tomorrow to be in compliance.

AJ wouldn't have practiced anyway, unlikely Demeco would have either. No harm in giving an older feller like Smith a day off in this heat....

Could be right, could be wrong, but if they are still truly $3.5MM over, Schaub's extension continues to be a no-brainer (in my eyes).
