Checking in from an undisclosed Twin Cities living room, we feel obliged to point out a subtlety of the NFL salary cap that annually confuses fans (and reporters). Namely, how did the Vikings go from having $14.8 million in salary cap space earlier this week to nearly $30 million today — a figure confirmed by VP of Player Personnel Rick Spielman at the scouting combine?

God, it's awesome being right.

But if he was gonna be right about something, I am glad he was right in this area.
Maybe it won't be as hard to find a FA now that we have a bit more money.
;D

It's pretty easy to be right when the article you are getting your info on, that you read beforehand, is 5 months old.

Carrying over money to next season, which can be done regardless of when the extension was signed, is a method teams use to conserve unused salary cap space. In other words, if Williams fails to meet the criteria of what's been deemed a bogus "likely to be earned" incentive in his contract, Minnesota will get an additional $13.2 million in cap space above the scheduled $116 million cap for the 2008 season.

In terms of this thread and being the first to remember Pat Williams' Not "Likely To Be Earned" incentive, no.
