After playing with the caps for a little while on sportstrac. It almost seems like we can save quite a bit of cap releasing guys like Parnell and Darius because they have dead hit for 2019. those two alone wouldgive us in the ball park of 16mil cap right there. If we decide to cut blake we are looking at a 16mil cap hit as apposed to a 20 so save in the ball park of 4 mil cap. Hyde is another one that doesn't have dead cap hit saving us another 4.75 mil. and finally Kessler has 0 cap hit freeing up another 920k. Cutting those 5 guys frees up around 25mil in cap space.

on the flip side of that. if you release Lee you are actually costing yourself about 3 mil in cap space.


I messed around with some ball park numbers signing back grant(3mil), bohanan(1mil), lambo(4mil), and shatley(1.5mil) and came up with around 12mil cap space left over. I basically signed them back at close to what they made last season except lambo who I pushed up to a little above the league average. As well as restructured jacksons deal to save 2.5mil 2019.


in total those moves left us with 15.3mil in cap space to sign our DPs and FA's. not ideal and could use some more tweaking but it is a start.

I know sports trac isn't the best but it is fun to play around and get an idea of who we can cut.
