Today start the FA-Period. Many thing will happen in the first few hours. I think the WR, OL, and DL will go first. Than the QBs, when Manning made his decision.
Here are the actual space unter the Salarycap: Arizona: -$13.7 million (they’re over) Atlanta: $7M Baltimore: $13M Buffalo: $23M Carolina: $1.3M Chicago: $23.5M Cincinnati: $39M Cleveland: $15M Dallas: -$2.7M (they’re over) Denver: $42.3M Detroit: -$7.3M (they’re over) Green Bay: $5.6M Houston: $615,000 Indinapolis: $13.1M Jacksonville: $34.5M Kansas City: $22.3M Miami: $9.8M Minnesota: $24M New England: $15.5M New Orleans: $6M New York Giants: $1.6M New York Jets: $13M Oakland: $640,000 Philadelphia: $13.9M Pittsburgh: $1.8M San Diego: $16.3M Seattle: $27.7M San Francisco: $20.7M St. Louis: $9.8M Tampa Bay: $44.9M Tennessee: $25.1M Washington: $16.4M |

Does anybody know if some of the teams don't have to the money to go to the salary cap? Is money an issue in the NFL?

If you mean that teams have to cut players to get beneath the salary cap, then yes, there are a few teams have money issues. 
As far as the teams that are below the cap, I haven't heard of any teams with financial struggles. |

Was there not a rule somewhere that says teams have to spend at least 90% of the cap?

It's one of the functions of the salary cap to prevent financial struggle. Some call it socialistic...
If you really want to get into this topic, how the NFL evolved as a business, I recommend Mark Yost "Tailgating, Sacks, and Salary Caps". |

It's a bit wordy and has lots of numbers, but the short answer is no. Here's the long form explaination: Is there a Minimum Salary? Answer:Yep. Under the new CBA, The cap for 2011 is $120.375M per team. Each team must average $119.2 M. That is a league-wide average not an individual team minimum. League-wide, teams must spend 99% of the cap in 2011 and 2012. In 2013 and beyond, they must spend 95% of the cap. In the event that player costs are less than this overall league minimum, then, on or before April 15 of the next League Year, the NFL shall pay an amount equal to such deficiency directly to the players. In terms of minimum salary for each team, the salary floor is 89% of the cap. However, that does not start until 2013. Hence, there is in essence no salary floor in 2011 or 2012. (Note this point, as there is plenty of misinformation about this running rampant in the press!) More specifically, beginning in 2006 each team had to pay a guaranteed Minimum Team Salary of 84% of the Salary Cap. Each year that percentage goes up by 1.2%, which means that it is 86.4% this season. However, the Minimum Team Salary cannot extend beyond 90% of the Salary Cap. Any shortfall in the Minimum Team Salary at the end of a league year has to be paid, on or before April 15 of the next league year, by the team(s) having such shortfall, directly to the players who were on that team's roster at any time during the season.

The Fins trade Brandon Marshall for two 3rd-picks to the Bears.
I think Miami will present a deal with Reggie Wayne in a few hours and hope to have a better position to get Manning. |
