I don't know if they could "even eat half"... they need almost the entire amount if they hope to sign Mcleod and get to the full roster size. Assuming they sign Virtanen to 750k and Mcleod to 2 Million... and another player to 1 million... that 4.5 million barley gets it done with only about 333K to spare....so very little to work with on those 3 spots if anyone gets more.
