Adjusted Salary Cap

$208,447,093
this number has the 2019 rollover included in it as I understand it. It appears spotrac is considering it twice.

dead cap figure is 9,374,988

You cannot figure in the rookie contracts as $11,873,031. That is incorrect.
For instance, the current top 51 probably has a guy making around 610,000 but once Burrow is signed and his cap number is  $6,580,025.00. Because his cap number is more then it boots off the 610,000 dollar salary making it a net add to the top 51 of $5,970,025.00. So for every pick that gets added to the top 51 that adds less to the top 51 than the rookie contract makes it look like. Realistically, if all 7 picks get added it takes the actual net difference down by the salaries of the bottom 7 of the top 51.

That is why I did the post tonight with every salary included so I could get a round about on the actual top 51 with rookie salary cap hits included and came up with roughly $17,823,000 in current cap space once the rookie deals are signed.

I posted spotrac numbers and if you go their site they have every salary listed. Then on the right they have their calcualtion. Their calculation includes 11+ for rookies and also has the dead cap money included.

I posted their numbers, not mine.

But point is they are saying we have almost 26 million left, if we use your logic on some salaries removed the number gets higher not lower.

But the question is not to debate the cap number, it is what do yo we do with money.
