I see where you got the $12 million, but it's a faulty assumption. Cash Paid + Dead Cap does not equal salary cap.

Salary Cap = Base Salary + Roster Bonus + Workout Bonus + Dead Cap + Likely To Be Earned Incentives + Allocated Portions of Guaranteed Bonuses Paid to Players Still On Roster

I wasn't talking about the cap, I was talking about the floor being so close to the cap. I thought I read somewhere that the floor was to be salary paid out to active players on the roster that year, but after doing some more research I couldnt find that anywhere. Must have confused an article I read.
