We still have 18 million and estimated we need less than 6 million for our rookie pool

Good news is we still can make moves and Katie has not restructured existing contracts to create cap room and push to later years like a lot of other teams have done, in some cases these teams have moved 35 to 50 million to future yeras away from 2022.

We need $3 mil or less for our rookies unless we trade up or trade a player for a first round pick/etc. picking at the end of the round means we don’t need nearly as much to cover them. Each rookie that makes the team knocks at least $700-800k off the cap for the player they take a spot from. 5-7 round picks likely gain us cap space if they make the team.
