That $29M figure was a bit overstated in terms of cap room. Biggest reason why is because I only reflected guys under contract in 2009 as of last September or so.
There were a bunch of smaller salaried guys signed to the roster since then that account for the difference. Most of these players have cap figures of $310k or $385k, but with 12 or so added, that makes up more than $4 million of the difference.
I also lowered the cap estimate a bit from $124M to $123M (and added in a cap adjustment estimate of like $432k for the time being), and I updated Mario's base to show the extra $375k he's scheduled to earn in 2009, owed to him because I think he achieved some performance escalators or something.
ETA - I'll get the cap page updated later tonight I hope, but following Dunta's tagging (which technically still needs to be signed), the available cap room lowers to around $22.4 million, give or take a million or so, best guess.
