Yeah. 13.7% increase or something to that effect. For perspective. 

Kirk is 9.19% of this year's salary cap. 
Scherff is 9.06% of this year's salary cap. Likely cut. 
Oluokun is 8.24% of this year's salary cap. 
Robinson is 8% of this year's salary cap. Also likely cut or extended to lower it. 
Fatukasi is 4.85% of this year's salary. Also likely cut. 
Jenkins is 4.66% of this year's salary. Also likely cut. 

This leaves Lawrence as the 7th highest cap hit percentage on the year at 4.44% and Zay Jones rounding the 8th spot with 4.18%. 

So, they get a near 14% bump in addition to potentially getting back some, if not, all of those cap hit percentages listed above. Close to 20% back once they cut Scherff, Jenkins and Fatukasi and 25% if they outright cut Robinson or lower his contract to help out. 

If they say they don't have money to sign Ridley or extend Allen comfortably they're full of [BLEEP] or completely incompetent at their jobs.
