Salary cap space

All information shown is current as of 7:25 a.m. Tuesday, April 1.


Current space: $11.6 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.

Cap space calculation


Salary data shown in the table is from Spotrac.com, which estimates the team’s salary cap space to be $11.1 million.

This cap figure is based on a total team salary cap of $279.2 million, plus $3.1 million in 2024 rollover, a $4.5 million overall adjustment and $13.1 million in dead cap from previously released players.

We disagree with Spotrac’s cap hit calculation for the following players. For each player shown, Spotrac’s total cap hit has been adjusted by the number shown in parentheses.

  • Elijah Mitchell (-$485,000)

With these adjustments (if any) included, the team’s cap space should be $11.6 million.
