[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 789656"] The cap space is straight forward. The Packers current cap space is $12,079,681. [URL]https://www.nflpa.com/public-salary-cap-report[/URL] Bell's cap cost this week for the balance of 2018 would be $11,977,412. Since you'd be picking him up for 14 weeks, that amount is 14/17 of his tag cap number. [URL]https://overthecap.com/player/leveon-bell/2258/[/URL] After taking on Bell, once Wilkerson goes on IR and a replacement has to be paid, the Packers would be over the cap. That means they'd have to cut a player and replace him with a sufficiently cheaper one to make up the difference. That cut can't be a vested veteran, though, because his salary was guaranteed on opening day. And if anybody else goes on IR that process might have to be repeated depending on how much savings was gained with the first cut. Another IR after that? Rinse and repeat. Of course, for every week you wait Bell's cap cost goes down another $856,000. ;) The top 51 cap committments for 2019 sits at about $150 mil currently with Matthews, Cobb, Clinton-Dix, Wilkerson, et. al. off the books.
