How much cap space do we have.

The active roster now sits at 46 players, which is about 10 greater than it was a week or so ago.

Which is interesting because it means that quite a few of those 46 players currently under contract will actually be removed from the cap hits when all is said and done.

Only the top 51 count, and they have all of FA and also 8 draft picks. Even if you over-conservatively estimate they only sign 5 FAs (both outside and inside) and only keep their top 5 draft picks, that's still 56 which means that's 5 players who will be kicking someone else off who will no longer count towards the cap the lowest of which right now is making $705k.
