NFL Salary Cap Update- August 28, 2024

I think we are all caught up with all of the roster cuts from the last few days as well as today’s practice squad signings so with that in mind I have made the move to change all of the team salary cap numbers on OTC to reflect the regular season accounting rules rather than the top 51 offseason rules. Please note that the NFL does not make this change until next week so teams that are being shown as over the cap are still under the cap per official rules.

Late next week I will do a few more cap updates dealing with the 2025 season. Currently I do not have carryover estimates in for 2025. I will add those in next week once the roster movement is all complete so you can have a better idea about each teams real future salary cap situation. In addition I will update the estimates for the NFL’s 2025 salary cap limit. Whenever I do that I will make a note of it on X.

Based on our estimates the teams that have some salary cap work to do for this season include the Panthers, Ravens, Falcons, Bills, Vikings, Broncos, Saints, and Giants. The first four teams look to be over the cap while the others have less than $3 million in room. Once Hassan Reddick reports to the Jets they will also be over the cap so you can add them to the list of teams that need to free up some space. To free up space expect some injury settlements for players on IR and a possible restructure or two to bring some cap charges down for 2024.
