I think it creates $24m ish, assuming Berry post June and Houston pre June, taking the available cap to $56m.
But then the franchise of Ford is probably $16m, and Barr Dennard and Collins is like $30m ish depending how you structure, so you're at $10m cap space before you resign any of your minimal guys, the tenders, Fisher for $4m or the draft class.
Oh, and that's assuming that the extension of Jones and Hill have zero impact on 2019, which is unlikely. The only way this fits is if you do a Sammy Watkins like structure on the first year on your 2019 FA signings and that just creates a nightmare in 2020.
