It sounds like Vikings Vice President of Football Operations and noted Salary Cap Guru (see: Seahawks, Hutchinson, poison pill) Rob Brzezinski is managing the money to General Manger Rick Spielman's liking so far during free agency.

Asked Friday how the salary cap figure was coming along, Spielman said, "We're in great shape.

"Rob has done a great job of monitoring our cap. The one thing as you guys know, you don't spend up to the cap at this point. You still have your draft picks that have to be signed and added in there, you also have to leave some cushion as you head into the season for your practice squad, you have to leave some cushion for injury replacement guys. But Rob Brzezinski has done an outstanding job of keeping us very competitive with the way our cap is set up."

Today, the website overthecap.com reports that the Vikings are $16.3 million under the $133 million cap. Make that $16,351,900 if you're really into details. But that does not, however, include Jerome Simpson's one-year deal, so the figure will adjust once the Simpson contract is filed with the league.

The site also reported that linebacker Chad Greenway, fullback Jerome Felton and safety Jamarca Sanford agreed to restructured deals in the past two days that will save $2.3 million under the cap.

Greenway agreed to take a $1 million pay cut to $5.5 million in exchange for a full guarantee of the $5.5 million. Felton reportedly dropped his base salary by $500,000 to about $1.5 million in exchange for being able to void next season. Sanford dropped his to about $750,000 to about $2.5 million. Felton and Sanford also got incentives to earn back the money.
