I thought Rhule said about 13 mil for stuff like that

I'd have to look back.

He did in his presser before Fit, that 13M was for draft, and post draft / trying camp, in season FA's.

WR and DB, here we come!

Can you not draft the rookies in late April and sign them after June 1?  I really do not know.

Looks like we’re not done, CB, DT, blocking TE still needed 

I hope we’re not done. You have the need listed in the proper order.

Yes you can.  Or later if you want, as long as you get them signed before camp starts.

You can definitely wait, though the trend over the past few years has been to sign guys pretty quickly.

(thanks, rookie cap)

[MHS831]

Dont forget there needs to be a pool of about 2-3m for signing players during the season

[electricbluecats]

Looks like Miller and Melvin are the main signings not included yet, so that may be another $4-5m or so. Add in $13m for the draft picks/in-season moves and that leaves around $8m of space.

But it wouldn't be hard to clear up another $20m or so in space for next year. Trading Teddy alone is $13m more of space and getting extensions for Moton and maybe Robby would knock a few million off each of those 2021 cap hits.

Might be smart to keep an eye on free agency next year bc I could see them deciding to be more active, in regards to bigger name signings. Especially if the team has a new QB and they look good. 

[Mistuh Jones]

I'd guess we draft a DT. I mean that's basically Fox's role here. He'll be moved around fa sho tho 

[ImaginaryKev]

Next year, 2022, Stephon Gilmore, Jamal Adams, Brandon Scherf, Jonathan Allen are all free agents. Hmmmmmmm

I don't know why everyone thinks our draft picks will cost so much against the cap?  This is the offseason, only the top 51 players count against the cap.  So if you add 1 player that counts against the cap, you take the lowest guy that counts off the cap.  Rookies will probably count about 5 million against the cap, total.  Hell, rounds 5-7 won't count at all because they will not be as high as the lowest guy on the cap currently.
