The up-to-date team roster, including contract and salary cap information.


Salary cap space


All information shown is current as of 6:12 a.m. on Tuesday, October 1*.*

Current space: $4.4 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: All NFL teams must remain below the salary cap between the beginning of the new league year in mid-March and the end of each season. Suppose our estimate of the team’s cap space is a negative number. In that case, it’s because contracts for some reported signings have not yet been officially submitted to the league office, or there is a difference between publicly available salary information and the official figures.

Roster by position


Please note: The number of players listed in each position group may include players who are under contract, but are not counted on the active roster because of a roster exemption. Those players are indicated in the second table. The Total shown here is the number of players who are counted on the active roster; adding up the numbers for each position group may give a different result.


Roster by category



Cap space calculation


Salary data shown in the table is from Spotrac.com, which estimates the team’s salary cap space to be $4.6 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 $11.6 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 estimated cap space decreases for each contract. These could change when actual figures are available.

  • Bailey Zappe ($225,000)

With these figures (if any) included, the team’s cap space should be $4.6 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.
