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.
The Buffalo Bills Brandon Beane is referenced by an ESPN author as saying cap space needs to be reserved for practice squad players. I'm not sure why the author states this. Perhaps the author just threw in his own interpretation?
"Beane said the Bills will have about $9 million in cap space once everything is processed with some of that needing to be reserved for things like the practice squad (about $3.5 million last year), the team’s 2023 draft picks, and costs for potential injuries.
