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. 

The PS has nothing to do with the cap. It is only top 51. Anyone we sign more expensive; we lose that player's cap and the add the new player. 

An example would be #53 makes 900K and new guy makes 4 million maximum with incentives, the net would be an additional 3.1 subtracted from our cap space.

The estimated cap space on these sites also takes draft picks into consideration.  They are already deducted from the cap space.
