First of all, we're not allowed to be $30M over the cap next year. The uncapped year was this past one, was it not? Not sure where you are getting that.

We're $60M under the cap. We're not talking about cash. Those first 4 guys won't come anywhere CLOSE to counting $40M against next year's cap. With bonuses and everything, they MIGHT count $25M against next year's cap.
We could sign Bowe, Carr, Nicks, Solai, and Landry and STILL have room for Peyton Manning.

I'm not getting my hopes up, that's for sure.
