Salary cap space

All information shown is current as of 4:25 p.m. on Wednesday, April 24


Current space: $20.0 million.

This includes the estimated salary cap impacts of all known signings and releases. More information about our cap space calculation is available below the tables.

Please note: Between the beginning of the new league year in mid-March and the end of each season, all NFL teams must remain below the salary cap. If our estimate of the team’s cap space is a negative number, it is either because a) contracts for some reported signings have not yet been officially submitted to the league office, or b) there is a difference between publicly available salary information and the official figures.

Cap space calculation


Salary data shown in the table is from Spotrac.com, which estimates the team’s salary cap space to be $20.1 million.

So this cap figure is based on a total team salary cap of $255.4 million, plus $1.5 million in 2023 rollover, a minus $4.7 million overall adjustment and $5.9 million in dead cap from previously released players.

But Spotrac’s figure does not include the salary cap impacts of the following recently-signed free agent, drafted rookie or otherwise missing contracts. The amounts shown in parentheses are the estimated cap space decreases for each contract. These could change when actual figures are available.

  • Cole Christiansen ($26,000)
  • Malik Herring ($26,000)

With these figures (if any) included, the team’s cap space should be $20.0 million.

Remember: salary cap figures are estimates based on publicly available contract information, which can be misunderstood, rounded or inaccurately reported. Only the NFL, the involved teams and players know the precise figures. Therefore, any salary cap calculation must be taken with a grain of salt.
