You have to dig a little deeper to understand salary caps this time of year anyway, if for no other reason than that not everyone counts!
During the offseason, a team's salary cap includes only the highest paid 51 players plus current year bonuses. During the season, the full 53 man roster counts, plus everyone on IR, pluse everyone on the practice squad. There are a lot more salaries included once the season starts.

I just took a quick look at that 2006 Salary Cap post I made , and I took about $8 million off that $84.7 million number real fast Shamrock.
So after we pay out about $7 million for OUR Rookie class and adjust the number for a Favre retirement back $5 million not $10 million then:
76 - 5 = 71 + 7 = 78 or we have to spend another approx. $7 million to get up to the minimum salary for a Team.
The trouble with that argument is. TT and M3 have said they want Favre back, so it's moot if you look at the long and short of it. All around, the analysis supports a Favre return too, as I see it.
