Btw...only the top 51 salaries count against the cap. Right now, the lowest salary on the 51 salaries that count is Gavin Bartholomew at $939k. The Vikings have quite a few players right around the $1M mark. So...it's not really a $1.42M hit in cap space...it's more like a $420k cap space for Wentz and $300k for KM. Seems like pretty cheap insurance to me.
There's no doubt we'll sign at least another player or two in FA that are more expensive than the current 51 as well as the first 5 or 6 rounds of rookies. If we do, the cutoff is likely closer to $1.2M meaning Murray will cost nothing against the cap and Wentz will cost $120k against the cap. Are we really complaining about that for the security it brings?
