Spotrac has 2020 roll over as only $3 m and we now have 23. Where did that 20 go? Fuller , Cunningham and Stills only name players and first two I expect to go elsewhere.I really think Free Agency is going to be interesting next offseason .... With all these big contracts being inked and a significant drop in the cap looming , many teams are going to be at / over the cap to start the offseason and that's going to result in a whole lot of players who have little to no dead money being cut to satisfy the cap rules.
Teams who have some wiggle room will be able to pay pennies on the dollar for premium talents that those other teams cut while those teams are left signing players for the minimum to fill their rosters.
According to Spotrac's current cap numbers for 2021 , the Texans will be sellers being 21m above the projected cap.
Crazy to think that JJ Watt could be a cap casualty in 2021 as he has no dead money along with David Johnson and Brandin Cooks - making that deal for Hopkins appear even worse.
That is before any extension for Watson or WFV - Any extension for those two would make the Texans financial situation even worse.
Worse yet , two teams in the AFC South are currently in the top 5 in terms of available cap space with the Jaq's at #4 having $38.2m the Colts sitting at the top of the list with $79.9m in available cap space .... and Bill Belichick sitting at #2 with $57m to play with.
Also. I dont think $175 cap for 2021 set in stone yet. Watt could be gone and his added to 5th year Watson's 17.5 could be Deshaun's new deal if he signs for three. Last I heard, O'Brien still focused on a Mahommes type long term contract.
Much to happen yet before I worry about off season a year away.
