[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 820024"] Yes, those numbers do not include any cap deduction for signing any free agents of any kind, Packer players or otherwise. Note that anybody listed in the following link as an exclusive rights free agent (ERFA), some of whom you've mentioned, should result in only very small bites into the cap space in my most recent bottom line number. [URL]https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/green-bay-packers/[/URL] Exclusive rights FAs have no negotiating power. They must take what the team offers or sit out the year; consequently they are typically signed to something close to the minimum on a one year deal. Note that minumum salary guys already under contract for 2019 in the $495,000 - $575,000 range are included in my bottom line number as part of the top 53 calculation. Draft picks from the 4th. round on down are also close to the minimum. If we assume ERFA's that are tendered replace those minimum salary guys (and actually make the final 53), their cost over and above those guys would be minimal. For example, Allison's 2018 ERFA tender was for $630,000. I doubt any of the players in question would do any better than that. Keep in mind my projections are in the context of the cap contraints at the final cut down. Once the league year starts in March, rosters are filled out to 90 players, teams can and do go over the cap, then they must get under the cap at final cutdowns.
