Not necessarily if they all sign end-heavy contracts - again I would advice not to look at the cap space as a concrete limit of how much they can spend on next year's real salaries, but as a limit under which Loomis and the FO have to fit the short term salaries of the roster. They have numerous ways of doing it, none of which even include releasing players or restructuring contracts.
