Proud to now have 20 episodes in the NFL Salary Cap Explained series. With more to come. Watch the Course Playlist here ⤵️ youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Here are the current top 10 teams in total dead money since 2013 as a percentage of the cap. Dolphins are certainly unique and we are only in March...☠️

Updated our dead money totals to reflect the post June 1 releases and what their final dead money for 2026 would be

@chrisbbarton They have a couple levers to pull if needed.

@TexansCap In the past they have always had a cushion for in-season moves. Are we thinking they are done at this point? Or 1/2 more small moves still?

Houston Texans *Estimate* Salary Cap Space. This includes estimates for Ka'imi Fairbairn and Wyatt Teller only at this time.

The writing was on the wall for Kwesi

I am not sure a team can strategically plan for each season. You have an idea of the year before based on contract structures for certain players. But I am not sure you can plan a year ahead for player trades and unexpected player developments. Every team will have dead money. Houston generally has a higher dead money number due to its short-term contract structure, providing short-term flexibility in exchange.

@TexansCap educated guess, how much dead money do you think they plan for each season? A certain percentage of the cap? And I assume it varies season to season.

@stclaudeii This was the quote from Steve Ross: "F1 has been great … We get more attendance for F1 races for three days than the entire (Dolphins) season tickets that we sold." That does not mean more money is made on F1. It does not mean there is greater attendance for F1 vs Dolphins

Dolphins owner Stephen Ross confirmed that he makes more money via F1 than he does on the franchise during this morning's episode of "Squawk Box"

@mattkaroly @RavensSalaryCap the site has been updated, not NLTBE. applies to the cap for 2026

@TexansCap @RavensSalaryCap Based on how OTC has it set up on the site, I’m guessing this is considered NLTBE?

This would indicate a base salary of $1.145M (min salary for 3 yr vet like Gwyn) and some sort of bonus of $50K.

10th day of the League Year is another popular contract trigger date. A number of teams have Options to declare by March 20th. Most of these are merely a formality.

No new updates today.

@Jason_OTC @JoshNorris Jason is the best

@JoshNorris Thanks!
