I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. Construct a 23 man roster with Cam Atkinson on it. Then construct a 23 man roster with him not on it. Count the cap and see the difference.
But Cam and Girgs were signed above league minimum, so wouldn't your point about league minimum signings not mattering be moot? They're still eating into the cap, even if it's relatively small.
And I didn't literally mean just $800k contracts. I was just throwing out an arbitrary number to prove a point. Every dollar counts if it's over $775k.
Maybe I'm splitting hairs I dunno.
Again, I think it's more about not seeing any concrete plan for the 2nd line. And every depth player with "upside" that we sign seems to point to JBB hoping he can find a diamond in the rough for cheap.
Maybe he's got something he working out. Maybe he's waiting to see how much it'll cost to sign Moser. But all the solid options are pretty much gone now. Just playing devil's advocate. Still hopeful we'll fill that spot, but it's looking less likely with every passing day.
