$38.5 million salary cap
-$7 million allocated for draft picks
-$7 million for injuries
-$8 million likely going toward extensions for players like Zeitler, Bernard, Eifert, DreK? Shawn Williams?
-roughly $1.5 mill tied into minimum vet re-signings of Tate and TJ Johnson (if they make the team).

$15 million remaining
A couple things:
$15 million, but let's think this through:
When have we ever needed $7 million for injuries? That number is outrageous. Nobody needs a $7 million cap space for injuries considering nearly anyone that signs during the season or camp is most always coming on a vet minimum type contract.
Where's the rollover number of $8 million?
Add those 2 numbers back in, and you have $30 million in space.
