Deranged Rhino Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Did a little work on this last night, and here's my new shot at the Gilmore contract: 5 years, $66.5M, $32M guaranteed Year Base Signing Roster Cap Hit Dead Hit Savings 2016 $11M (gtd) $3M -- $14M $32M -$18M 2017 $6M (gtd) $3M -- $9M $18M -$9M 2018 $8M $3M $1.5M $12.5M $9M $3.5M 2019 $10M $3M $1.5M $14.5M $6M $8.5M 2020 $12M $3M $1.5M $16.5M $3M $13.5M The above would consume an additional $3M of the current cap, which means they'd have $11M in cap room to sign draft picks and perhaps add a veteran or two. This would also bring the amount of cap space available to sign FAs next offseason down to $5.5M, which means one or two key players at starting positions.
