Miguel's numbers for 41 players $30.8M
2006 already moved money into 2007 1.9M
2006 to be moved into 2007 (guess, might be more) 2.1M
Resign 4 ERFA's (1.8M)
Re-sign 8 or vet relacements (8.0M)
allowance for draft,PS and injuries (5.0M)
--------
$20.0M
The four ERFA's are Yates, Britt, Wright and Alexander
Note that the 8 vets to be re-signed or replaced include Brown, Iwoma, Evans, Izzo, Davis, Banta-Cain, Gay and Seau. $8M f or 8 players is likely to allow the signing of a mid-range free agent or two, since some will qualify for the veteran cap deduction.
I have not counted the signing of Graham or Samuel who would be one of the major free agent signings, if they are signed.
=====================================
BOTTOM LINE
I've paid for the full 53 roster (41 + 4 + 8). This 53 is improved by signing draftees who will replace players. That cost is included.
Not that it usually costs less than $3.5M of cap costs for a top freee agent ($1M salary plus $2.5 of amortized bonus). Since the player they will replace is likely to one of the $1M jags, we could sign 8 of those players ($2.5M x 8)
Of course we won't find eight. Maybe we'll find one or two. And, we'll be starting the season again discussing the $15M cap excess.
