March 19, 20232 yr comment_197207 So here is the current estimated available cap for teams with over $10M in effective cap space. These teams are really the only ones that could sign a player to a decent contract without other cap restructuring. If you consider you need $5M for rookie pool and $5-10M for operating money for the year, The Bears, Falcons, and Packers are really the only teams with room to sign players to a deal that is over $7M AAV. There are still several players left like that. The Bears could sign 2 of them and still have the most cap space. So Poles is not done yet. Report

Yeah, I am thinking Kmet would be the easiest, Claypool the least likely, and Johnson is going to be the toughest. Jackson and Whitehair definitely can save close to $10M if they need it. Report

If they believe he is a fringe WR1, then $11M is probably correct. JuJu just got $8.5M/multi-year deal and he seems to be more productive than Mooney. So $8.5-$11M seems like Mooney's range. Report
