Assuming a $5M cap hit for Vollmer, how are we going to be able to afford all that? Your list is $7M in cap this year or more. Now we can do that, but who is getting cut? Connolly, Cunningham and Fells? What about the rest of the FA's, UDFA's and camp cuts BB is going to sign along the way?
I believe the CBA prevents extensions until a player has completed 3 years of his rookie contract anyway. This has been brought up in the discussions about trading Mallett.
Ok. This is good. At this point we need to see the cap hit.
So, for all the commubulation for the first couple of weeks of free agency, it seems like here we are: (1) Same general core. (2) Moderate to significant downgrade at slot receiver. (3) Moderate downgrade at WR from Lloyd to Jones. (4) Moderate to significant upgrade at SS.
About $4 to $5 million left to spend, stll needing pass rush, WR help, and still with same basic CB core. Do I have that about right?
they extended gronk and hernandez after 2
Miguel's Salary Cap Page shows 15 mil. without Vollmer (123 mil. - 108 mil.).Assuming $5M for Vollmer which I suspect is high, the ~$12M existing cap is reduced to $7m. Plenty. And I'm certain the $12M cap is wrong, too low.

It means what it means. No worse than the 3rd round. Could be 1st, could be 2nd, could be 3rd. The draft is a long process, combine, pro days, interviews, you can't say that "no worse than 3rd = 3rd". Sorry.No worse than a 3rd rounder means he isn't a clear cut second rounder or he would have gone no worse than the 2nd round. Nor was he a clear cut first rounder or he would have gone no worse than the 1st round. The fact that he was slotted to go no later than the 3rd round means he was a 3rd rounder or a late 2nd at best.

It is..it's more in the $14 mill range. So say $9 mill left for draft and FA pick ups. And you know pats will save some $$ to roll over to next year
$5m would be a very high first-year cap hit, unless he got a monster deal, which I doubt. I'd expect something closer to $4m, leaving them somewhere near $10-$11 million.
Obviously we haven't seen the Vollmer numbers yet, but I'd be shocked if they didn't leave room to sign someone like Abraham and a few other contributors of greater-than-camp-fodder quality.
Happy news. I said earlier we needed to do this. People underestimate how good this guy is. When healthy, a top 5 RT who can also play a very high level LT? This guy is a keeper. Let's just hope he stays healthy. Sign Abraham, Tavon Austin, and a mammoth DT and we should be sitting pretty.
Not even close

He's only two years in to four year deal.
Gronk's draft class was the last group that could be redone after two years. Every other draft class after that has to wait three years.You mean like Gronk? He was redone with 2 to go.

I'd say you're off about 7m before cuts or restructures
