So the patriots will have an estimated 10 million under the cap after signing draft picks. i think they should just keep it and use it 2013, remember if u have unused cap space it can roll over to the next season. we could use that money to acquire a mike wallace or even front load gronkowski and hernandez rookie deals,

I like your thinking but I still say get a defensive game changer regardless of how Hightower and Jones work out. Brady's replacement can enjoy Joe Flacco success with such a dominant D in the works. -

They'll have more cap than that. Fans seem tone forgetting the top 51 rule for the offseason. Base salary doesn't count against the cap for players with total cap 52nd amount until 90th. So Wilson, Jones, and Hightower are the only players who will count fully against the cap a's top 51 players. Even then, they're pushing some player with a $540k base salary out of the top 51 so their base salary would no longer count against the cap. Last year, the cap cost at those three picks was a little less than $3.8m. About $1.6m would be unchanged because of players pushed out of the top 51. Add in a couple hundred thousand for bonuses for the other drafted players and we are looking at the Pats losing less than $2.5m in cap do to the addition of rookies -

They will keep the cap space free
to keep options open down the road
They could possibly pick up room with Welker
signing or being traded
They have a lot of bodies and who knows
what injures happen
Right now they really only have need to sign
a rb
Unless there is an URFA DB available I think
nothing much will happen until Training camp -

I think your number is incorrect as it does not include Welker who has not signed yet -

JetMangione says that we are way over the cap and only the Jets are currently under it. -

The cap space probably needs to hold. The Pats are stacked and also stacked with questions. They need to filter out the WR glot they have over night created. A good thing. It looks like the team is ready to procede without Welker. A bad thing.
They have two RBs that we know very little about. The defense is going to be different as well. It's time to see what the Pats have. -

Money to resign Gronkandez? That is my guess. -
