Tendered offers as required for Exclusive RFA, Restrictive FA, Transition, and Franchise players to keep exclusive negotiating rights, rights of first refusal and/or draft pick compensation are included in the top 51 salaries for cap purposes between March 1st and the the beginning of the season. gasp, gasp. This would be the case for Ogun, Freeman and the departed Haley. Gadsden is an UFA who can currently negotiate with any team. His offer is not a formal contract that is counted against the cap.
Right now the 51st lowest salary for the cap, in my estimation is $330K.
So Ogun $375K and Freeman $605K do count in the salary cap but Gadsden $530K does not.
