You'd be at 10 players and 160 Mio than. I'd rather work with that than waiving 17 Mio.
What am I missing?
" You'd be at 10 players and 160 M ... What am I missing"
The Apron 1 hard cap (which you must stay under when using the big MLE) will be right about 170M.
10 existing players (which includes Pick 10, I trust) total 154M. But leaving one slot for the MLE use, the 4 other slots, paid the very minimum, each cost $2M in apron accounting, so you are at 162M. You can't spend right up to the hard cap because of what might happen injury-wise.
So that's maybe 6-6.5-7M you can use, and aggressive roster trickery over the entire season (if you have the expert) might free another 1M maybe. Maybe.
