They are just measuring a different number. They are measuring total remaining cap space.

I am measuring usable cap space to sign new money.

I feel mine is a more useful number but their number is still accurate.

What is the difference between.

Cap Space (Top 51 only) $29,371,319
Cap Space (Total Cap) $21,016,319

That's 8,355,000.

In the off season, the NFL only counts the top 51 contracts against the cap for some reason...most likely to give teams a bit more room to maneuver. That is the "Top 51" number.

The "Total Cap" numbet is the cap hit for every player under contract. Just before camp, it should be for all 90 players. It is a useless number, IMO. I have no idea why Spotrac reports it.

I probably missed it earlier......Mcafee's cap savings due to retirement already figured into your numbers?

I'm starting to get interested in this in some weird Sherck like way..... Not that I will be a guru like you, but it is interesting and I am trying to understand it, so sorry for all the questions (not really)

The Top 51 + pool includes the draft picks correct?

Est. Cap Space (All):
$21,016,319
Est. Cap Space (Top 51+Pool):
$23,048,901
Est. Cap Space (Top 51):
$29,371,319

So from there you take out 52 & 53 at about 1 million and churn at 3+ million

If that (all) is for the 60 man roster wouldn't that take into account for the practice squad?


That would take us down to about 19 million but they dont have Aiken, Williams, Woods


I'm trying to get down to your 13 million number.....
