The new salary cap is 198.2 million.

Our top 51 right now (includes Watkins) is 205.7.

We had a roll over of 23.4

205.7 - 23.4 = 182.3

198.2 - 182.3 gives us our cap space of 15.9.

Looks like we really can't afford to have that top 51 number increase very much going forward, when you know Mahomes is going to take a big jump.

Is that including Erving’s contract? Because he’s gone as well as Sammy.

This one, Spotrac, doesn't list him. Only in the dead cap space. Over the cap still has him in, but they only have us at 6.8 million in cap space too. Not sure which one is more accurate.
