Updated Cap Space

right now Spotrac is showing us with just over 13mill of cap space......but it doesn’t have numbers for any of the guys we've gotten so not sure what the actual number is
 
I thought we had no cap space. Is Sportstrac better than over the cap?

How much will we need for rookies?
 
We need around 7+ million for draft give or take. Both over the cap and spotrac don't have the recent signings so we don't how they are structured I guess.
 
Then we gotta restructure to get draft picks and a little spare going into the season
I think I heard a couple weeks ago they could restructure Jackson, Brooks, and Brewer and could get them just under $17m. They could also extend Seiler ( I expect them to) and save probably close to $6m.

There is still Tua and Ramsey out there if they wanted to. Hope they don't have to though.

Not necessarily.

Draft picks don’t cost completely additional money. Top 51 contracts already account towards the cap so for instance our 2nd round pick counts 1.56 million against the cap but replaces a contract worth 840k so only 720k extra is added to the cap. Pretty much 4th round and lower cost nothing extra as it’s just replacing a contract already counted. It’s really only our first round pick which will cost an 2.8 million that you have to account for. If we are closer to 7 million I guessed which could be okay, it’ll be tight though. You don’t need to restructure for money during the season, can always do that later on if needed.

it'll take 12.7mill for the 10 draft picks but it'll only count 6mill of the cap. Right now we have 13.8mill of cap space. That includes Wilson/Daniels/borom and Melifonwu

there are 10 players that are not included there yet so of course once they're in then our cap space will be down to almost nothing when you add to it the draft picks

Thanks brother! That is if all draftees are on 51 roster. It gets confusing to me sometimes 😕
