According to what?
OTC has them at $11.7m space right now not counting the Reader contract which averages $13.25m, but would also kick off another player off the Top 51, which would create an extra $675k. So $12.375m - $13.25m = only $1.125m over the cap according to OTC
Sportrac has them at $12.8m not counting Reader, so add the same $675k and subtract the $13.25m.
$13.425m - $13.25m = $175k in cap space left according to Spotrac.

I haven't seen anywhere say 5-6 million over, and both of those numbers are assuming that Reader doesn't have a smaller cap hit in 2020 and larger ones in later years. If that were the case, then they'd still have plenty of space.
