Thats what they list prior to the signing. And thats based on the rule of 51. Once the season starts, they will have to account for 53 players, the practice squad, and any injured reserve players. They are going to have to do some serious cutting and/or restructuring to make this work. If they plan on signing Tannehill next year, thats going to take a good amount more money to fit in next year.

Right now they are following the Vinnie Cerrato - DS school of salary cap management. Squeeze it to the limit for the big name(s) and have no depth at all. You can always get under the salary cap - we got a 16M cap hit 2 years in a row and never went over, but you simply give up flexibility and depth.
