That puts the Vikings 15 million over the announced cap and have until next Wednesday (16th) at 4 pm eastern time. Combine is over, time for Kwesi to figure out Cousins, Barr, Hunter, etc

NFL Salary Cap set at $208M.
Teams have roughly half their roster on rookie contracts; let's say, conservatively, $1M Cap numbers (although most are less).
That's about $28M.
Thus, they have $180M to pay the rest of their roster.
Paying elite players should not be a problem.

Lol 45/180 = 25%
