Yes this is a reasonable approximation of the available cap space they'll have this summer IF they renounce their rights to Channing, and choose not to exercise team options on Blake and Travis (and of course the usual suspects like Ruffin, Shavlik and Raef go away) Where it gets tricky is if we draft players who will occupy cap space or lose so many players that we end up with unfilled roster spots (and their attendant cap-holds) below the league minimum of 12 when July 1st rolls around.
But as a general rule, assuming the cap figure stays fairly static this year -- which it probably will, since league revenue didn't drop that much, if at all -- there could be up to around 14-16 million to sign free agents, or otherwise perform lopsided trades this summer.
In all likelihood I can't see KP just letting Blake and Trav walk away just for the cap room, unless he had a target he just had to have and that was the only way to do it. It's probably far more likely to see sign and trades done with those two.
