Here let me clean this up for you a bit

Mike, Patscap.com reports that the Patriots are only $4.3 million under the salary cap based on 66 signed or tendered players. With so little room, I don't see how the Patriots can sign their first-round and three second-round draft picks, or give Vince Wilfork an extension in this scenario. Peppers or Taylor seem out of the question. How bad is this really? Can the Pats afford to sign their draft picks? Will the cap situation improve dramatically when the roster gets reduced to 51 players?

To answer the question Justin, I don't see the cap room as a major issue in signing draft picks. Those are true value spots in the draft that don't eat at a team's cap. Also, with a few contract tweaks, the Patriots can create the space they need if they are indeed that tight (I don't know the exact figure of cap room at this time). As for Peppers, I think it's a good point -- to acquire him, he'd presumably have to take a major pay cut. Taylor, I don't see requiring a major financial commitment at this point.

Per: Ask Reiss: Now on the clock ... Patriots draft talk - Boston.com

Miguel seems to be getting some attention this offseason as always nice work!

I hope everyone that visits donates to Bread of Life for Miguel.
