Rookie Pool amounts have been announced. This is the maximum amount of cap space allocated to teams for signing draft choices and undrafted free agents.
ESPN.com - NFL - Raiders lead NFL in rookie pool allocation cash (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2862869)
The Skins rookie pool amount is $3.432M. This leaves us between $1.5 and $2.5M of excess cap space.

Skins have like the 3rd lowest. By comparison, Oakland's rookie pool is over $6 million

The formula for deriving each team's rookie pool is regarded as Byzantine even by the most astute team officials, and is basically a function of how many overall choices a club makes and where those picks are slotted in each round. Oakland had the initial selection in five of the seven rounds, including three of the first four stanzas, and that positioning high in almost every round also contributed to the team's rich allocation.
First of all did the sports writer just refer to the formula as "Byzantine", :doh: Hooray for the thesaurus lol.

so LaRon is going to need a 7yr deal to be able to get a $15 mill bonus? even then it's going to be tough signing each of the rookies with so little
