Aye.
From that $31.706m, subtract:
$6.322m = Estimated draft pool class
$3.000m = Darius Butler
$3.000m = "Churn" space in-season
$2.500m = Al Woods
$1.200m = Estimated 10 man practice squad
$1.080m = Spots #52 and #53 on the active roster
Which gets us down to $13.604. The difference is that I estimated that Sean Spence would cost us $3.000m in cap space and Spotrac is only showing $2.468m which I need to dig into.
Anyway, that is the long answer. When I list a "Cap Space Available," that is the cap space to spend on NEW contracts; either our own or folks from different teams.
Cheers,
