Assuming that it has a roster bonus, Murray should come in at about $9 million.

Let’s assume that Mathews’s deal eats up about $4 million in cap space this year.

LOL. You looking foolish again cap boy. Are you you looking at the article and basing your whole point on when he said "assuming"? LOL. Dude clearly didn't have the official numbers when he made the article and based his assumptions on what ya'll did on the Maxwell deal.

...and once again the whole premise of that particular piece of the article is still the same. Eagles are 2nd in the league in salary cap % going towards RBs.

Stick to the stats and pictures next time...

Vikings Free Agency: Breaking Down The Mike Wallace Trade

Earlier today, the Minnesota Vikings pulled off what amounts to a stunner of a trade. Dolphins WR Mike Wallace comes to Minnesota, along with Miami's 7th round draft pick. In exchange, the Vikings send one of two fifth round picks to Miami. As I saw repeated on Twitter by multiple folks, the Vikings essentially traded Matt Cassel, who was traded to Buffalo for a fifth round pick, for Mike Wallace.

Whoa. Not a bad deal. But wait, doesn't he have a huge cap number? Let's look at that.

Wallace supposedly spurned bigger money with the Vikings and signed a 5 year, $60 million dollar deal ($30 million guaranteed) with the Dolphins in 2013. He now comes to the Vikings on what is essentially a one year 'prove it' deal for both sides.

Wallace, who will make $9,850,000 in 2015, is scheduled to make $11,450,000 in the last two years of his contract, 2016 and 2017. But all the guaranteed money is done after 2015, and there will be no dead money, and henceforth no cap penalty should the Vikings decide not to retain his services after this coming season.

So although he's making a hefty paycheck this year, it's not a long term issue moving forward regarding the salary cap. So if Wallace pans out, and he wants to stay here this time, it will be easy to re-structure his deal if both parties want to. Because let's face it, no matter what kind of numbers he puts up this year for the Vikings, no one in the NFL is going to pay him over 11 large in '16 and '17.

So is Mike Wallace going to be overpaid in 2015? Yeah, he is. Does it matter after 2015? No, not at all. And it's really not that big of a deal for 2015, either.

With the trade, Minnesota is now a shade over $8 million under the salary cap, and that includes the contract of Wallace, Adrian Peterson, and a couple of other guys who have to be considered prime candidates for re-structuring or worse--Chad Greenway and Greg Jennings. I still think Greenway is gone, but I don't see Jennings leaving. We'll see.

I think it's a perfect fit. The Vikings struggled immensely in the deep passing game and Wallace as a complementary player fits that bill perfectly. Charles Johnson is their #1 and do-it-all receiver, so Wallace coming in to help stretch the field gives Teddy so much space and options to work with.

how good can johnson be?
 
Charles Johnson is pretty dope from the little I saw this year. Can develop into a real weapon with Norv.

It's hard to quantify his ceiling, but once he took over as a starter, he did virtually everything and he looked like the best player on the field. He should be a 1,000-yard + receiver with double digit TD's the next few years.

Kudos to Spielman's scouting department because this dude came out of nowhere. Only a few Packers and Browns fans knew of the guy.

As of right now, he alone makes the Vikings' receiving corp an underrated unit. They should be well known after next season. At least, that's the hope.
