[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 819014"] It's probably a good time to make the donuts again: Cap committments for the current top 53 players + current dead cap: $163 - $164 mil depending whether you prefer overthecap or spotrac; lets call it $163.5 mil Cap carryover from NFLPA: $7.9 mil Estimated 2019 league cap: announced as in the range $187 - $191.1 mil; lets call it the midpoint at $189.0 mil Current top 53 cap space = [B][I]$33.4 mil before subtractions[/I][/B] Spotrac shows an estimated draft pool cap of $10.26 mil; overthecap is at $10.35 mil for the 10 picks using this chart [[URL]https://overthecap.com/draft/];[/URL] lets call in $10.3 mil. Assuming these 10 players replace the lowest cap players among the top 53 (10 x $495,000 = $5.0 mil with no dead cap), the net 2019 cap cost of the draft class comes to $5.3 mil. Current top 43 + 10 draftess leaves [B][I]$28.1 mil cap space before additional subtractions [/I][/B] Last season's practice squad salary was $129,200 per slot. Assuming a 7% bump in line with the salary cap bump, the 2019 estimated cap cost for the PS is $138,000 x 10 players = $1.4 mil. Current top 43 + 10 draftees + PS leaves [B][I]$26.7 mil cap space before additional subtractions [/I][/B] Something needs to be held in reserve for PUP/IR replacements. $3 mil is a reasonable number. Current top 43 + 10 draftees + PS + PUP/IR replacments leaves [B][I]$23.7 mil cap space after subtractions [/I][/B] That $23.7 mil cap space is your current working number for free agency. That number could go up with certain cuts, with the following players yielding the indicated cap savings: [LIST] [*]Perry: $3.33 mil if cut by March 14 [*]T. Williams: $4.8 mil if cut by March 14 (in contract year) [*]Bulaga: $6.8 mil (in contract year) [*]Crosby: $3.6 mil (in contract year) [*]Graham: $5.3 mil if cut by March 14 [*]Daniels: $8.3 mil (in contract year) [/LIST] I doubt we'll have any further clarity until early March. The team cap number and rookie scale were set on March 5 last season. Then it's fast and furious. Or not. [B][I] [/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
