    I'm updating my salary cap model, and finding it hard to get good information on some of the recent contracts. Has anyone found good info on - from any source other than Rotoworld or Spotrac - regarding the details of the Foote, Gradkowski and Spaeth contracts? Right now I am using:

    Foote: $1 mil signing bonus, $1.5 mil/yr salary for all 3 years (from spotrac); Rotoword shows a $1 mil signing bonus, $1 mil salary in 2013, and $1.5 mil salaries in 2014 and 2015 (which only adds up to $5 mil, not the widely reported $5.5 mil)
    Spaeth: $715 k in 2013 (from spotrac); Rotoworld shows a 2 year contract, but doesn't have numbers.
    Gradkowski: $1.5 mil signing bonus + $1 mil salary in 2013 (also from spotrac); Rotoworld has no numbers.

    There are minor differences between spotrac and Rotoworld regarding Foster's contract, but they are close enough for my purposes.

    Anyway, using the numbers above I am still showing us as having $3 mil in cap space until June 1, and then another $5.5 mil in June when Colon goes off the books.

    The Spaeth and Gradkowski contract details haven't been released anywhere. I know you asked for something other than spotrac, but I'm a premium member there, and I know the Foote numbers are right. What you have, equaling a cap hit of $1,833,333 each year, is correct.

    Overthecap is another good resource if you aren't familiar with it.

    Speath isn't even officially signed yet...though it could happen in a day or 2.

    Also Steelers Depot has some numbers up in some of their posts...but I don't remember specifics/etc.
