Yes, tendered amounts are already reflected on the cap, even if they are unsigned. The available cap room would increase by almost $10 million if the tender was rescinded.
Given the four unsigned rookies, once signed, they will probably lower the cap room by another $3 million or so. I haven't done any estimates, but in case anyone is concerned from that angle, don't be. There is plenty of cap space for them... the question is really just fitting them under the rookie cap, which probably shouldn't be all that concerning either, esp since the team didn't draft a cap-busting QB or anything.
