[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 777844"] I'm not sure how you get to that figure. Fuller's year 1 cap hit is $6.5 mil. Sportrac shows the top 51 currently at $10.2 mil in cap space with all of the draftees loaded in (OverTheCap has not loaded them all in yet). Williams had not been signed yet ($3.6 mil cap hit). To get even close to the $580k figure you'd have to assume Nelson was still around. He may have been for a day or two (release announced on 3/13, Bears announce Fuller signing on 3/16), but Nelson's release was a fait accomplis with the Graham signing regardless. With both Nelson and Fuller holding cap, I believe there were several million left. Besides, negotiations could have been ongoing as a contingency against not aquiring Fuller, with comminications to agents along the lines of, "hold off for a couple of days; you may like what we have to say." This whole "tying up cap" is a tempest in a teapot. The cap issue with Fuller from my perspective would have come in 2019. [/QUOTE]
