[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 551020"] It should be noted that the draft pick cost is offset by the savings associated with guys they bump off the roster. Here's the rough math as I see it: 1. Start with the cap hit for the top 51. 2. Add $840,000 for rookie minimum guys filling spots 52 and 53. 3. Add $1 mil for the 8 practice squad guys. The minimum pay is $6,000 per regular season week...8 players x 17 weeks would be $816,000. Maybe we pay a guy or two a little more. 4. Add the $5.8 million for the draftees. Now the offsets come in: 5. Reckon that some of those draftees will not make the 53 man roster by either being released or sent to practice squad. Their non-guaranteed contract portion of the $5.8 mil can be deducted from the total (which would be all or nearly all of what they signed for). 6. The major adjustment is likely to come from the guys currently in the 51 who get cut and displaced by draft picks. For example, let's say we kept the top 6 draft picks accounting for about $5 mil in cap, but those draft picks bumped 6 guys off the roster who happen to be making on average the 3rd. year minimum of $645,000. You would credit back about $3.9 mil of cap space against the $5.8 mil. So, for ballpark purposes with so many variables to be determined, I'd say it's the current top 51 + about $2 mil for 52, 53 and practice squad + about $2 mil for the draftees net of cuts from the 51. It is often overlooked that IR and PUP guys count against the cap once the season starts. Cap $ must be kept in reserve to sign replacements. Last season the reserve number was about $5 mil. I see no reason to expect anything less at this point, though the intent appears to be at this stage a more healthy carryover for next year's FA signings. [/QUOTE]
