Starting Point - 43 million in cap space
In
Hendrickson - 12.87 mil
Obunjiobi - 6.187 mil
Hilton - 4.875 mil
Awuzie - 4.05 mil
Reiff - 7.5
Total = 35.482 million in incoming salaries
Out
Atkins - 9.6 mil
Hart - 6.1 mil
Total - 15.1 mil in cap freed up
So, just for discussion sake, and to make it very, very simple...
---43 mil in starting space + 15 mil in cuts = 58 mil in total
---58 mil total - 36 mil in signings = 22 mil in remaing space.
****Note: They are other signings we've made (Brandon Wilson for example) that need to be accounted for. But, as always you have to consider any remaining cuts and how the top 53 works out after everything is all said and done. To make room for a Brandon Wilson or a Troy Brown you have to move another player down off the top 53. It's not as easy as just adding totals.
Fwiw, here is Spotrac's updated roster with everyone pretty much account for other than Reiff. They have us at 158 million dollar spent (leaving 26 million). But you also have to consider this includes 56 players.
