We are very close against the cap. The current $9.9M should just about cover the contracts not yet posted: Simon, Dorsett, Pennell, Harris, and Brooks).
==============
CURRENT SITUATION
We have about ZERO cap space.
===============
We need money for the following
1) rookies
2) end of off-season stuff: player 52 & 53, Practice Squad, IR folks before the season starts
3) reserves for in season replacements and incentives
4) Minor free agents: primarily at veteran minimum or other near minimum compensation
5) replacements or re-signs of Hogan, Waddle, John, Gostkowski, Allen, Shelton, Clayborne and McClellan [could be rookies]
6) upgrades
$14M FOR STARTERS
1) about $3M
2-3) about $10M
4) about $1M
IN ADDITION
We need money for #5 and #6 ($6M-$11M) for a total of $20M to $25M.
OPTION 1
is to leave some restructures for later to cover 2&3. This $10M could be covered by the restructures to Cannon, Gilmore and Mason).
OTHERS
we would need extensions, retirements or cuts to sign anyone else, including the draftees.
