[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 862527"] That's right close enough for government work. $53 mil in cap after subracting Graham, Linsley and Taylor. That would be with 40 players under contract, so that's obviously not free agent "working capital". The 10 draftees would count arount $7.5 mil against the cap. Add 3 more minimum salary rookies at $1.5 mil to get to 53. Practice squad is going to be about $1.5 mil. $2- $3 mil for injury replacement contingencies. That's $13 mil in subtractions to get to a working number for free agency of $40 mil. And do you really want to spend all that, leaving no carryover to 2021, with a more critical free agency class in 2021 and key player cap costs going up and up, $50 mil over this year for those same 6 players? I don't think so. I think there's room for two name signings, with some left over for backfilling with some current vet FAs, Tramon Williams, Lewis (if that big ticket TE who can block is not signed) Ervin, Veldheer and Crosby would be some possibilities if the prices are right. No matter how you cut it, stacking drafts is essential, and not the kind where you end up waiting for some "3rd. year jump". [/QUOTE]
