Hypothetical Cap if we cut or trade players

Of course Hobson has us having no money but still, it is much closer to 10M...

Just want to correct this picture of the Bengals cap.

The $9.8M below includes -all- contracts. Top 53 cap space is ~$15M.

The $7.6M rookie pool is offset by contracts pushed off the top 53. They need $5.6M for rookies AND practice squad.

Can do another $10M cap spend on vets. https://t.co/5RElBmG4ib pic.twitter.com/yhKMg7m8r1

Jake had me reading until he started discussing practice players. Only the Top 51 salaries count against the cap. The 18 million is accurate or a lot closer than 10 million left. He also top 53, again it is Top 51. It appears he is not caught up on how the cap is calculated. Over the cap figures account for us getting 7 draft picks (included already in Top 51) also.
