Though the NFL teams still have a few days before they have to count all players on the salary cap, we have made the change early so you can all get a good estimate for where teams actually stand with the salary cap in 2025. A number of teams are currently estimated to be over or nearly over the cap for this year. Those teams are the Giants, Falcons, Bills, Texans, and Bears. They will likely be making some salary related decisions in the coming days regarding restructures, extensions, injury settlements, or renegotiations. They have until the start of the season to fully comply with the cap.

We are not yet including these salary cap space estimates in our 2026 salary cap figures. I will make a note of it when we do, but typically that will be the 2nd week of the regular season as the 2025 cap figures for each team should stabilize by then and make the carryover estimates more accurate.
