ok, lets open a thread for cap since its a recurring subject on multiple threads any many people are deeply worried . which hopefully can be avoided
At the moment - going by
@Miguel of course - NE cap is at 12.4M
(note: Slater's picked up option already accounted for)
id follow this with one post that made most sense so far and has many basic info in place
(hope
@Kenneth Sims doesn't mind -- expand for full post)
you can also calculate it approx. for yourselves here:
New England Patriots Salary Cap Calculator | Over The Cap
to sum it up: some additional 15M easily . 20+ possible . more depending on timing (Brady, Gronk, Gilmore..)
when counting new additions divide reported apy by 30-50% to get approx 2019 hit
as
@luuked said they will not do anything of the above until they need to (new big contract being all but signed). there are plenty of reasons to keep that obscure..

I hope
@Miguel can chip in here. Maybe
@Ian can lure him back for a moment to put some fans here out of cap depression..
