As for the dead money it was 3.6M but you have to add Arrington's dead money and the dead money from the 5 other players they released to get under the cap.

only arrington's 8+mill is significant. everyone else is probably close to 3mill.
but we have about 42mill in singing bonuses for new players already, and all those bonuses and restructures done this year count above and beyond that (as well as the new base salaries for new players). with the dead money and the extra players beyond those counting towards the cap (4-6mill). plus signings yet to be made andd rookies. last i looked we were headed towards a 120-125mill actual payroll.
