This sounds about right as spotracis using $11.5 mil as the increase for the cap. At this amount they have the Jaguars $3.7 mil under with $35 mil additional roll-over space. The $10 mil figure may be due an attempt to account for the boycotts and may be more accurate. This would have the Jaguars $2.2 mil under plust their roll-over space putting them $37.2 mil under the cap.

Interstingly, over-the-cap applies top-51 rules to account for additional rookies so that 51 players are counting as would be the case in the offseason. For this reason they have a slightly lower number. They also use $11.5 mil as the increase, but show the Jaguars a total of $32 mil under the cap. Using what I presume to be a more likely lower increase of only $10 mil, this has the Jaguars at a mere $30.5 mil under the cap with 51 players. Using this figure, for every player you add be sure to subract the rookie minimum for the player knocked off the top 51.

Also let's remember that $30~ under the cap already includes Blake's $19mil option number.

Also, Kyle Brandt just did an awesome little rant on Bortles being an underappreciated storyline.
