Functionally, including $4 mil for the PS and a little more for the first rounder, I had us around $22 mil pre-Brown signing, at 53.

But we never go right to the cap. Keeping some space for cuts/injuries and/or extensions is necessary. 

If it's a stratified deal, similar to the one that Tyron Smith got with the Jets, we could essentially be done with FA acquisitions.  I'm not sure on the exact rules of contracts with escalators, but I seem to remember that the team must put the max value aside, in case the player achieves all incentive escalators.
