What to do with the cap space?
According to the cap sheet, we are now 7.8 mil under the cap. Once Lloyd is cut, it will be 10.6 mil under the cap since he is a designated Jun 1 cut. (that includes the .4mil that will replace Lloyds contract which is attributed to the rule of 51) That means that we will have 2 players to sign with 10.6 mil to do it. Our rookie contracts shouldnt be that much since we have late picks. Im guessing that we will have about 9.3 mil in space once we have all 53 players counting towards the cap (including the rookie contracts).
I have three questions about our situation. 1. Would it be realistic or even possible for us to push money forward if we dont sign people (which doesn't seem likely now that Hackett is out of the picture). 2. Can we not have Lloyd be a June 1st cut after we already designated him one so we can take the full hit this year? 3. What are we going to do if we cant fill up this cap space? Why would we push so much money back and not do anything to fill the space?
