Jenkins and Brandon Scherff. Not to mention if they get the Ja'Marr deal done and maybe trade Tee, we will see.
According to my calculations (which can be flawed), using the off-season rules (top 51), assuming we cut Moss, and that spotrac's numbers for Hill are correct ($8,666,666) AND putting in $7 mil for Ossai, and a negligible impact for Sample....
We have $23.4 mil in cap space.
Now, once the season starts, and you count all 53, the Practice Squad, the 1st rounder signed, and whatever cushion/IR costs, it will be practically lower.
Of course, a Tee/Chase deal and/or a Burrow restructure would open up more.
But, say $16 for Jenkins and $7 for Scherff would be $23. We'd be tapped out pending something on the Big 3 front/restructures, or more cuts. Or a creative contract with Jenkins that has his cap significantly below APY salary.
