I'm right there with you, Mike. I liked what I have seen in DET and what we have recently seen in preseason.

I always was under the impression if you don't spend it the NFL team keeps it and next seasons tarts with a fresh Salary Cap amount.

I'm not sure. It may have come into play with the new CBA. But if you look on Spotrac and other sites like it under the cap section, you'll see team's have rollover listed. This is why the cap number + cap space available exceeds the allotted $133M cap.

Don't they have insurance on players that would kick in on a full season loss like this?

There should be a way that the player still gets paid but the money doesn't count against the cap, but that would make too much sense.

Season ending injuries sustained prior to the 1st game of the season should allow the Paragraph 5 salary for that year to NOT count against the cap for that year. Prorated bonuses and any other bonuses already paid or other guaranteed monies should still be counted as per the CBA.
That's the way it SHOULD be.
But, ya know...that would make sense for the players AND teams so that a team wouldn't lose a season because of an unlucky preseason while a few mid-priced vets who could really help them are stuck sitting, waiting for injuries for a call but can't start a season anywhere because their cap hit is too high even with the vet exemption (or because they're good enough that they command a bit more than that).

I'm pretty sure compensatory picks only come in when a team loses a player through FA.

That was pretty much what I meant. If I could write better it would have been perfectly clear. If the Rams cut him, I'm guessing that's not losing him to FA. However, if his contract is up and some team picks him up in FA do the Rams get compensation?
