Do we have the cap space to cut Jansen if he looses out to someone?

Release fee for Jansen is a little over $6 million. I don't think we have that space or would want to cut him rather than just leave him on the bench. I think I saw an article saying we had around $5 million in space before the draft, after signing H. Smith and Orakpo and the draft guys I don't see it even with an extra million. Maybe a little more room to pick up a Khary Campbell type.

Yeah but I think they have that much space and it makes me wonder why they have that much. Normaly they use it all except for about 2 mil, for the season.

I know a little about our cap situation, but a lot of my numbers are estimates, and I'm sure there are people that are more up to date than me. I think right now we have about 2 or 3 million in cap space. We had $5 million, then this one million added gives us $6 million, Hunter Smith is probably around $1 million, the rookies will probably be about $3 or $4 million. So that leaves maybe $2 or $3 million when you think about players dropping out of the top 51. Again all estimates on numbers I've seen in various places.
