Unless Loomis restructured a deal for 100k in cap space, which he didn't. Also since the Strief deal is 2m in cap hit for 2014 which is reflected on overthecap but not spotrac, I suspect they are both wrong as there is only a 1m delta between the two sites.

If you notice overthecap shows that Cap Space number is "Est."

All in all.... overthecap shows less money to work with so no, it isnt a prelude to a graham contract. That will come with the restructure of Grubs and Evans. 7m + 2.1m to Jimmy Graham is 9.1m. Leaving you with $0.00 to sign draft picks, practice squad, take the team to Sonic...
Understand the money has to come from somewhere, but I don't see BOTH Grubbs and Evans get their deals reworked...

And their currently showing the Non-Exclusive Tag money against Graham, so if Loomis has that much too work with this season, he may guarantee more money down the road to keep Graham at that cap number this season...

It's a case of take only when you need and not before.

With 2.6m in cap space going to a long term deal for Graham will consume that. Draft picks will require 4m and the restructure of one of them. The second will be a restructure to have some space available to start the season.

Now, if Jimmy signs the tag, one gets reworked and Loomis saves the other for a rainy day next year.
