Mo Claiborne........$2,957,182 -$425,000 = $2,532,182 cap hit
Tyrone Crawford... $533,813 - $425,000 = $108,813 cap hit
Kyle Wilber........... $499,805 - $425,000 = $74,805 cap hit
Matt Johnson....... $465,146 - $425,000 = $40,146 cap hit
Danny Coale........ $437,513 - $425,000 = $12,513 cap hit
James Hanna....... $416,213 = no change to cap
Caleb McSurdy..... $404,850 = no chage to cap

That is EXACTLY the case. For each guy signed, a salary comes off the cap....so the addition to the cap is only the difference in salary, not the entire salary.
