It’s simple, they’re using up all that cap space they have/had next year. All these contracts are structured with big hits next year. 

It would be nice if we signed an edge rusher and rolled whatever left we had over after rookies, etc

I'm guessing they've got $7-8M on the table for Floyd or Ngakoue. Maybe another $5-6M for a training camp cut CB and then ~ $10M for draft picks. Still gives us about $3-5M on the conservative side to float through the year, or roll over to '24. 

We need a little over $12 million for our draft picks based on the picks we have right now.

So have about $15 million in actual cap space at the moment, although technically we could eat into that amount we need to save for the rookies before they actually sign the deals and then get a Burns extension done to get the room back.

Fitterer is very smart. He has a value for each position in the grand scheme and he won't go over. That's how you make it all work. It's a long term plan.

How are there 4 teams with less than 2 million in cap, before the draft, and half the teams have less than 10 million. This league is heading towards a major cap crisis. The next negotiations aren’t going to be pretty. Edit: Actually before the next negotiations cause they are 10 year apparently.

I think large QB contracts are widespread now to the point other positions will feel the squeeze. Lots of 1 year deals for guys hoping for more somewhere next year. Next year may not be any better.

A chart that lists teams in a more logical order along with a comment from Jeremy Fowler...

We signed Kamu! So we only have $27.6M now.

No we don't have to . Contracts are backloaded and signing bonuses are prorated so the cap hit can be as little or as large as we want. Last year the number one pick had a 4 year deal 37 million. So if we gave him a 16 million dollar signing bonus and a 1 million salary for 2023 our cap hit would be 5 million. Or with 27 million in cap space we could make the hit bigger this year. But the cap isn't a limiter to what we can do. If we signed Burns to a huge 5 year deal for 125 million our cap hit could be as small as 8 mil this year if we give him a 40 million dollar signing bonus and a 2 million dollar salary for 2023. The guaranteed money is the biggest thing.
