Cap guys...

[Ground_Meat]

Does this team even have enough cap space to extend Cox? Especially given his cap # this season, an extension would seem impossible without some cuts and/or ammended contracts of other players. Correct?

I think there's a rule where you can utilize some cap space this season to extend guys if it's done before a certain week. Not sure how that's split up or decided or whatever.

There's always room to extend Cox
