Cap update:
OTC, Top 51 $23.9 mil. N/I Patrick deal. Tee at $24.1, Slaton at $5.4.
Spotrac, top 51: $20.5 mil. Tee at $26.6, Slaton at $7.9. N/I Patrick.
My calculations, based on a best available roster of signed players:
O starters (11): Burrow; C.Brown; Chase, Higgins, Iosivas; D. Sample; OBJ, Volson, Karras, Patrick, Mims.
D starters (11): Hendrickson, BJ Hill, Slaton, Ossai; L. Wilson, Pratt; CTB, Turner, D. Hill; Battle, Stone.
ST starters (3): McPherson; Rehkow; Adomitis.
------------------
Primary O reserves (5): Browning; Perine; Gesicki, All (IR), Ford.
Primary D reserves (5): Murphy, Jenkins, Jackson, Burks, Newton.
Fringe O reserves (10): Moss; C. Jones, I. Williams, Burton; Hudson, Grandy, McLachlan; Lee, Kirkland, Cochran.
Fringe D reserves (9): C. Sample, C. Johnson, I. Thomas; Njongmeta, Heyward; Ivey, M. Wilson; Anthony, Anderson.
--------------------
That's 54 guys with All on IR as the 54th. I get $20.8 mil in cap with that, using OTC's numbers.
Take out $3-4$ mil for the PS and a net of $2 mil for the 1st rounder and we are at $15 mil or thereabouts. No Trey getting paid, no other FA's, no cushion. $15 mil.
Now, that would certainly go up some. We won't pay Moss $4.8 mil to be RB3, right? Cutting him saves $3.3 mil, but then a cheap replacement eats a mil, so +$2.3 for $17.3. The rest of the picks will be a wash or a slight savings.
I am working with $17.3 in my head. Pay Trey. And MAYBE one more value FA signing (G, or cheap vet on D). Unless we get a Burrow restructure (+$19 mil) or release some other guys depending on draft/FA signings (Volson, Pratt, Stone, Burton).
I can't speak to over the cap as I mainly use Spotrac, but Spotrac includes money for all 6 draft picks.

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
