Aren't newly drafted players not factored into the cap for 2013 so that wouldn't matter? Could be wrong just what I thought.

Based on the numbers being rumored with all the restructures, I think we are under the cap (or extremely close). Biomass and Smith will give us some room for actual re-signings and FA.

They aren't considered part of the cap yet, if that's what you're asking. I was just considering their eventual cost once we draft them. If you're asking if rookie wages never count against the cap, they certainly do. Based on Bruce Irvin's contract (15th pick), our first rounder will cost just over $2m and the 3rd through 6th round picks will probably make it an even $3m or so since a few are guaranteed to not be among the aforementioned top 51 earners.
