But it is not a straight subtraction. When you sign a rookie it is bumping someone else OFF the roster who currently counts vs the cap. Accounting for this displacement effect, the rooks only cost us $7 million or so vs the cap.ht now. He and an extension for Mixon means we are likely right up against the cap.

I am pretty sure the $11 million estimate for rookies already takes into account the salaries replaced.
I know Sportec came up with about $11 million for rookies and that included a $610 saving for every player replaced.
