This gets me to $48.8 MM committed in 05. Add a few resigned players at higher salaries like Antonio Pierce, Royal, and Salavaa at a higher salary. Take Joe at his word that he will keep Brunell. Now you are already in the $60-$65 MM dollar range. Assuming that the cap is $85 MM next year, and $7 MM is already dead cap, how in the world can we fill out a roster with a remaining 35 slots for $12 to 17 MM? Or, how in the world could we even be discussing FA? help me out here.
First of all, I'd be surprised to see all the players you listed on the roster. I also don't see Robert Royal or Joe Saleav'aa getting a dramatic raise.

This isn't easy - if it was, Dan Snyder could do it. Somehow or other, we seem to get 53 guys into uniform each year, though.
