That is the 5th most cap space of any team in the NFL.

So when are we extending Kyle Williams?

Only 5th most? A little surprising.

Holy crap, Jacksonville is still 28m below? Bucs are actually a little closer than I thought.

$26M under the cap, and the right side of our O-Line is Swiss Cheese, and all of our TEs combined have fewer career catches than Dallas Clark gets in an average season.

That's 2,020,036 24 packs of Busch down here... Hey Ralph, if you team is going to make me more of an alcoholic you could at least toss me a couple thousand so I can bear to watch your product on the field.

No floor for a couple years, right?

Looks like LaCanfora is using the in-season rules and not the Top-51 offseason rules. Otherwise, St. Louis could not be over the cap.

Some of those numbers are interesting. I remember hearing GB was right up against the cap, but some moves might have cleared space since then. Nice to see the Dolphins with only 5m available.

And from those numbers, it is obvious that it's all or nothing with these teams. There are literally only 4 teams within +-4m of the average cap space. That means 28 teams are either way below the average or way above. Either teams aren't spending much at all or they're spending a lot, not much in between.

PFT has posted numbers as well:

Their numbers show the Rams as just below the cap, so they are probably using the Top-51 offseason rules.

Can you please email this post to the Bills FO?

If we enter the season with that O-line then we're officially leading in the Suck for Luck sweepstakes

i guess with no floor, this let's them build the coffer during another expected bad season.

what will get annoying is if we short change players we are 100% on like draft picks. this year, we didn't have any holdouts.

i would go crazy if next year we have luck and he holds out because they won't pay him to have him in on the very first available day.

it'll also be annoying if we don't sign people when we are getting close by building through the draft.

I seriously doubt you'll see many, if any, rookie holdouts from here on out with the rookie scale.

Does this count the $9 mil we had to eat on Maybin?

Even if it doesn't, we're still $17 million below. That's more than enough to do something.
