We could have roughly $4.8 million to spend on someone with the TPE.
Is it that high? Spotrac has it as $3,388,433, which is the number I'm coming up with (salaries + Demetrius Jackson + unlikely incentives = $179,405,557; second apron is $182,794,000.
A 10-year vet minimum is $3,196,448, right? So offering the MLE in that case would hard cap us, but only result in $200k more to the player.
You could theoretically add more by cutting guys making more than the subsidized minimum (i.e., Kornet), but not *much* more.
