| There is still a lot of misunderstanding, and misinformation out there about the cap. Last night the SCORE after midnight guy was going on and on about how the franchising of Melton has taken all the Bears cap. Not Les Grobstein but the Friday night guy replacing him. I have yet to hear anyone on the sports babble shows describe the Bears situation the same way. |

Sportrac is now updated w/ Melton's franchise tender.
I'm not sure if Melton has signed the tender or not yet however b/c I can't find any news on it.

I don't think he has, I thought I read that he was on vacation so it won't get signed until he gets back at the earliest.

I'd imagine they would want to wait until after the first round of FA b/c until he signs that tender it doesn't count against the cap.

I don't think there is any reason for Melton to sign it before the 15th. I guess, conceivably, the Bears could rescind it - or Melton could suffer a catastrophic injury - but otherwise what is the value in Melton signing the tender? Might as well keep his options open and continue negotiating towards a long term deal.

Brad Biggs thinks it's unlikely Peppers gets restructured.

The Bears have done a good job of avoiding a lot of dead money against their cap since Cliff Stein was hired as contract negotiator in 2002 and they’ve followed what former Green Bay Packers cap manager Andrew Brandt calls the “pay as you go” model, meaning you try to avoid restructures that push this year’s cap issues into future issues.
