Likely Cuts (Pos, Name, Savings)

DE Will Smith $11,550,000
DB Roman Harper $2,180,000

With those two players savings we pull just under the cap...

Then, we still need a Center and an Offensive Tackle as DLP and Strief are free agents (no committed salary)...

And then there's the designation of Jimmy Graham...

Spotrac is updated a lot better than OTC> We signed Nsekhe for 496k and Brooks for 420k in the last two days. I don't like OTC because it leaves things out.

Our Over is presently $15,249,590m
We have 1,626,985 carry over from 2013 to 2014

Also the 2014 Cap commitment you are showing is only for TOP 51

Then there still is:

Resigning Free Agents
Signing Draft picks
Practice squad
Saving 2m in reserve for injuries during camp and or preseason.

Nsekhe is huge, but old for a 'futures'. Maybe Brown is a goner after all.

Futures contracts are for off season or practice squad... But I wouldn't say he is that old... He has had 2 seasons in the NFL and only been out of college for 5 years.

My thoughts are that Brown is done, Armstead will be out starting LT and Nsekhe is depth at best.

I think he is 28...
I guess I assumed 'futures' as in young players, not 'future' as in a date forthcoming

A "futures" contract is a contract that basically secures someone for the upcoming off-season and or practice squad.
