It will be more than $18M. $12M is more than enough for rookie contracts and PS players with some exceptions do not count toward
the cap. They are paid weekly and only count against the cap if brought up to the active squad. We have plenty of room to sign 3 vets and
then some.
We do have to be careful about the next few years as Herbert's cap hit becomes huge. But for this year we have no cap issues at all and
in fact are in better shape than 27 other teams.
Apparently the rookie pool has gone up a little as Tua's contract in 2020 @#5 , his first year cap hit was 5.5 mil. And Alt shows 6 mil and if you add up our every round cap hits according to this chart, it is about 12 mil but I didn't use a calculator and the pool there says 14 mil
If someone can explain this great as maybe I'm a little confused by it but right there it says rookie cap numbers by round. Add it up.

Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.

With Over the Cap showing the Chargers with $30m of cap space before the draft - the draft picks (7m) and UDFA (maybe a million bucks at most) migh be a net $8m to the overall cap. That leaves $22m
$10m for in season fund and practice squad - so now down to $12m
Net result: the Chargers have somehwere in the $10-12m true cap space to sign players still. Now, I do not agree with Chargers1_SJ that the Chargers can sign 3 players at $6m because I am not sure there are three players even worth signing, let alone at this time, worth $6m each.
But, one Justin Simmons at $6m - if the scheme fit is right - is feasible as a 6m contract only counts basically $5.1m to the cap.

Cap space smash face...I really can't figure this out until we know who were gonna keep and whos gonna be dropped. Maybe somebody needs to come up with something that has a list of known players we are keeping no matter what and then figuring out what's left of remaining cap. Just really confusing at this time.Chiefs won the Superbowl with 10 Rookies....

We met with Tyler Boyd? Why?! That makes no sense to me, unless they have already had a bad connect with either Palmer or Q...trade one of them? Im puzzled...Adopted Bolt: Scott Matlock
Final prediction: Latham OT, Colson LB, Sainristil CB,Rice WR, Zinter OG, Nourzad OC, MacLachlan TE, Vidal RB, Lovett DT

That would give us what we need at WR, rounding out depth.Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
