$2M of this is already in the cap, in the players that the draftee will replace.
I have a 142 IQ, and I haven't a clue in hell what you mean.

From the start of the new NFL year, the following has changed to the 2013 cap:
Hoomanawanui tendered, $1.3 million
Danny Amendola signed, $3.5 million
Leon Washington signed, $1.5 million
Donald Jones signed, ???? - $1-$1.3 million, perhaps?
Kyle Arrington re-signed, ??? - about $2-2.5 million, perhaps?
Adrian Wilson signed, ??? - about $3 million, perhaps?
Aqib Talib re-signed, $5 million
Niko Koutouvides re-signed, ??? - about $800k-$1.2 million?
Other potential cap charges to consider:
- Sebastian Vollmer (or another T)
- Emmanuel Sanders
- John Abraham, or another DL
- Julian Edelman
- Potential relief w/Brandon Lloyd cut or restructure
- Potential relief via the Fanene bonus
- About $3 million for draft picks
- About $5 million set aside for emergency use in-season

They'll be spending $3-3.5 million max on rookies
first rounder will get about $1.2-1.4mill
second rounder will get about $750k
third rounder (if Sanders doesn't come) about $550k
two seventh rounders at about $400k a piece ($800k)
$3.3-$3.5 million at the most.
Hypothetically, If NE trades Mallett for a #1, does NE still have to operate under the $3.3-3.5 range or does the pool amount adjust upwards
Amendola is 3.7 as it stands ( 2 salary, 1.2 bonus, .5 roster=3.7)
Perhaps an example will help.
When we sign the two seventh rounders for a total of $800K or so, two players drop off the cap calculation which is based on the top fifty one players. If the cost of the bottom 2 players is approximately $500K as it was last year, the next cap "cost" of these two draft choices would be a negative $200K; that is, we'd have $200K MORE cap room after signing these two players.
It doesn't work that way.
If the seventh-rounders have cap hits of $400K each, and the #50 and #51 players are $500K each, then the seventh-rounders simply never go onto the cap (at least not right away). So there's no cap savings from them, but there's no additional cap hit, either.
You can't have a negative cap effect, because they would just not be counted in the top 51. i.e. when you sign a 5th rounder and his cap cost is 58th highest, for cap purposes the cost is nothing, because he doesnt affect the top 51Perhaps an example will help.

So, if you estimate that we will have 5 draftees and you estimate the TOTAL cap cost, then you need to subtract at least $2M to arrive at the actual/net effect on the cap. Of course, if the bottom was really at $500K, you would need to subtract $2.5M.
I'm lazy and going out soon.
What is the cap effect of cutting Lloyd, presuming that his dead money is spread over this year and next? What is the dead money hit each year?
Obviously, lloyd can be re-signed, but the dead would still remain.
DA's 2013 cap hit is $ 3,543,750
Roster bonuses are considered incentives. As such
Any incentive bonus that is stated in terms of a per play or per game
occurrence automatically will be deemed "likely to be earned" to the extent the specified performance was achieved by the player (if an individual incentive) or by the team (if a team incentive) in the previous year.
Since DA played in 11 games in 2012, only 343,750
is considered LTBE and currently counts against the cap.
Well, as of the start of FA, he was on the cap for $4.5 million this year:
Signing bonus proration: $1.0 million
Salary: $1.9 million
Option bonus proration: $1.5 million
Workout bonus: $0.1 million
TOTAL: $4.5 million
Assuming they cut him this weekend, then, as of Monday, his cap hit will be:
Signing bonus proration for 2013: $1.0 million
Accelerated 2014 signing bonus proration: $1.0 million
TOTAL: $2.0 million
However, because they cut him, another NEW salary comes ONTO the top 51, so that adds another $0.5 million.
NET RESULT: total savings of ~$2.0 million.
The Patriots could, theoretically, push the $1M in dead money into 2014 by processing Lloyd as a post-June 1 cut, but that wouldn't go into effect until June 2; until then, that $1 million has to stay on the 2013 cap.
Presumably, if the Patriots really are considering bringing him back later, they would do just that. Otherwise, simply giving him his current base salary and no bonus would result in a higher 2013 cap charge than if they had just paid the option bonus.
