Only part of this that is an issue is what’s owed on the 2022 cap .

as of now 2022 will have a start at $1,475,062

but feel moves are coming like CJ Mosley $16 M

Looks like we should have plenty of room to play around with then

 

[gmf1369]

if they trade/cut said 6 players after this season our 2022 dead cap could be roughly between $12 - $28 M...

so Joe Douglas has options to make moves and help this team right the ship by shipping out players that don't fit or don't have it anymore...
