Per Spotrac, this puts us about $8m below the tax on just our active roster.

This doesn’t account for the 14th overall pick, re-signing Jax or J Rich, or any other signings we may want to make.

That extra 2 mil is going to be valuable. This doesn't even include us moving contracts to create a bit more space. I think we're in good shape.

So around 12 million if we let Temple go.

We have a lot of possible movement BUT Zion’s contract may also scale based on the new cap.

Current estimate is $33.5m (25% of the cap) but that changes if the cap increases.

It's only $1 million more.

$136M cap means Zion's max should start at $34M.

Also increased breathing room under the tax for the Pels is a good thing

Plus EJ, but I imagine that will be a cheap deal. Still have some decently high hopes for him

EJ is on a two way deal, I don’t believe those count against the tax line

Hes not going to be on a 2 way deal next year. I highly doubt that.

This helps with like CJ’s deal. Makes it looks slightly better. The cap should go up another ~13m next year too.
