The Dougie trade got me to thinking. So, we're currently $10.5M under the 1st apron (according to sportrac). How much outgoing salary do we have to give to utilize that amount of immediate cap space relief and how much value does it return? Does THJ, Maxi and Holmes allow for that, or do we have to add more salary (or is that enough salary to make a difference on a team's cap sheet).
Those 3 together are $40.8M and after reading to remind myself on the matching rules 125% + $250K gives us $10.4M in cap relief. HMMMMMM. Unless my math is wrong or my rules are screwed up, that looks pretty suspiciously close to our under Apron 1 number. I'll spend some time looking at what we could return with that amount of salary, but I leave this posts thoughts for you to read what you want of the possible coincidence.
