If the League Cap is 170M (currently projected to be between 166M and 170M)
AND IF the Pats carry over 5.3M
AND IF their adjustment is -1.4M
AND IF they do not receive $3.25M credit for Aaron Hernandez
AND IF they do not have to pay back up to $4.25M in borrowed cap space
AND IF the Patriots' 2017 total commmitment
after tendering ERFAs and the signing of the 10 practice squad players to futures contracts
is 114.8M
the Patriots cap space will then be
$59.1M before tendering RFAs/tagging a player/cuts/redos/retirements

Why wouldn't we have to pay back the borrowed cap space?

Got it. I was expecting around 66 million. Well i hope we can resign some key guys after the season.

It was poorly worded.

Pats may have borrowed up to $4.5M in cap space in 2011/2012 and if they did they will be debited any borrowed money the start of the 2017 League Year.

I hope they hold off on resigning Brady until we're sure he's still got something in the tank.

I think we'll start seeing one year deals.
