But don't we have over 51 players? So the whole 4 mill won't affect the cap, maybe 1 or 2 at most I would think. Also, we still have a few weeks until the draft, so there's plenty of time to restructure somebody making 15 mill this year, right?

He would immediately become one of the top 51 knocking someone who makes the league min. out of it.

OK, so he'd be about a 3.5 cap hit for the year then. We would still have a few weeks to restructure someone else, correct?
