If the estimated cap space is over 35 million,  with draft picks already accounted for, and claim only 15 million for FA. where is the 20 million+  going?

Therein lies part of the problem.

The $35m is the difference between the salary cap and all current contracts.

The draft pick salaries are a part of that $35m.

Dead money from old contracts are also a part of that $35m, and it clearly cannot be spent again.

If you don't want to count the rollover, that is fine.

In that case we have $26m left, with the team stating they will spend $15m on free agents and $11m on contract extensions.

Regardless, we are left with $15m for outside free agents.

Math doesn't lie.
