I believe the number they use for all cap includes cost of projected rookie salary without any offset of top 51 salaries but numbers d o not match exactly. I was trying to figure it out. In our case the rookie pool offset is 5.3 million, but they take our current 18.3 million and subtract almost 7 million leaving us with 11 million after rookie contracts.
If you look after the cap and it breaks down every draft pick, there are 2 numbers, I thin 1st id projected rookie contracts, I think the second number (5.3 million in our case) offsets against current top 51.
Projected rookie salaries are not included either number.
Adjusted Salary Cap 212,200,000
Active Contracts (Less) 190,685,156
Dead Cap (Less) 9,592,578
Est Cap Space (All) 11,922,266
This number includes all 60 salaries currently signed and accounted for to the team (Stanley Morgan's numbers have not been added).
Add the 9 smallest contracts: 6,465,000 to the All Cap and you have the Top 51 number: 18,387,266
The numbers match exactly.
