Yes? No?

Yes I believe around that first week of the season it becomes the whole roster (top 53). The tweet from the guy above actually includes both numbers for that reason. The same netting principal still applies there but you just add the next two cap amounts. In this case it’d be close to an extra $1.5 mil we’d need. That may sound like a decent amount but….

In reality that is usually taken care of with cuts/rookie draft picks with lower cap hits than the top 51 currently have/undrafted players making the team/etc. we won’t need that full $1.5ish mil in cap space unless we have no rookies in rounds 4-7 or undrafted guys make the team
