Bennett is making half what he should make. No one would give us anywhere near a high enough pick to make it worthwhile to trade him.
We are also more hard up for cap space than people realize. We have 23m in cap space and we have to sign 19 players to get to the 53 man roster.
You can add the six ERFAs to that figure, who can each be signed at the league minimum for around $4 million total. That would give us 40 players.
The $23 million in cap space estimate is based on the cap rising to only $150 million. Some have speculated that, because the new TV money will not hit the books until this year, the cap could rise to closer to $160 million next year. Half the league's teams are at around $20 million or less if $150 million is the cap.
