In addition to the savings you mentioned, I would add another $6M for salary restructures on Brunell, Jansen, and Thomas. That brings the cap number down to about $75.5M leaving us about $20M to spend.

However like Pocono mentioned, this is all dependent on a new CBA. Without a new CBA we won't be able to restructure the roster bonuses because of the 30% rule, and we won't be able to push the $7M Arrington deadcap to next year. Removing these savings brings our cap number to $98.5M.

So it looks like we definitely need a new CBA in place, or we may be in trouble.

What if there is no cap. It is thrown out in the agreement? There has been talk out there about that!!!
