Vets Hargrave and St Juste combined cost $16.5Mil annual and nearly everyone other list offsets a $900K bottom 51 contract that falls off when they get added.So we’re adding all that for what feels like $11.1Mil Cap charge less the Bottom contracts that fall off. Call it around ~$11Mil +-area additional Cap.If I’m not mistaken? Gary being traded paid almost all of that less Kinnards Net $1.8Mol (again $2.75Mil but dropping the 51st contract off the books). We basically have 8-9 players with a net zero 2026 cumulative cost coming into the fray if we simply apply Gary $cap savings.THAT is how you gain financial leverage on your opponent. Meanwhile Chicago is near Cap Bankrupt and the Packers look to new ways to hold substantial reserves and keep a majority of the 2025 band together. Yet our 2026 Roster has MUCH better depth. The only true position we can argue the depth took a step back is RB and yet we really can’t say that with positive certainty. If Lloyd returns you could actually argue opposite.</blockquote>
