DAL: Currently $001.877m under the cap. Add in future costs and they are $11.035m over the cap.

NO: Currently $006.356m under the cap. Add in future costs and they are $11.258m over the cap.

NE: Currently $007.313m under the cap. Add in future costs and they are $8.269m over the cap.

NYG: Currently $007.667m under the cap. Add in future costs and they are $6.534m over the cap. Offload OBJ and they save $8.459m against the cap. Hmmmm......

Fully 1/2 the teams in the league are pretty much at salary cap or over the cap once future costs are added in. There will be quality veterans cut in order to make space that could be great 1 or 2 year rentals.

Walk Worthy,
Hopefully, Ballard drafts BPA and then fills in specifically with the second round of FAs.
