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

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

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.

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.

    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
