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


Salary cap space

All information shown is current as of 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, March 26.


Current space: between $10.1 million and $13.1 million — likely $10.8 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. If our estimate of the team’s cap space is a negative number, it’s because contracts for some reported roster moves have not been officially submitted to the league office, or there is a difference between publicly available salary information and the official figures.
