NFL 2024 - Team Cap Space vs Dead Money

Below are charts that compare NFL teams by their salary structure and cap management.  The yearly salary of a contract places it into one of five tiers; Elite, High, Middle, Low, & Rookie.  Using these tiers we can compare the financial texture of each NFL team.

NFL Player Tiers Based On Salary

Elite (32 players) – $24.2m+

High (128 players) – $10m – $24.2m

Middle (160 players) – $4.8m – $10m

Low – 4.8m & Lower

Rookie – Players on rookie deals

Dead Money – Dead money charge

Cap Space –  Available Cap Space

Each segment is represented by a color in a donut chart.

Both the $ amount spent and the amount of players in each tier are listed above or below the Donut Chart.

The chart below shows the cap space, active spend and dead money values for each team as of August 1, 2024. The final two columns are Spend + Dead money, and Cap Space + Spend + Dead Money totals.
