Browns Lead NFL In Salary Cap Carryover
February 18th, 2021 at 10:19pm CST by Ben Levine

Earlier today, the NFL Players Association announced (via Twitter) the salary cap carryover amounts for all 32 NFL teams for the 2021 season. Effectively, teams are able to rollover their unused cap from the previous season. So, when the 2021 salary cap numbers become official, they can be added to each team’s carryover amount to determine that individual club’s official cap for 2021.

This follows news from earlier today that the NFL has raised its salary cap floor to $180MM for 2021. This total could clue us in to the salary cap maximum, which could end up landing north of $190MM. The salary cap was $198.2MM for the 2020 campaign.

As the NFLPA detailed, the league will rollover $315.1MM from the 2020 season, an average of $9.8MM per team. The Browns lead the league with a whopping $30.4MM, and they’re the only team in the top-five to make the playoffs. The NFC East ($68.8MM) and AFC East ($65.3MM) are the two divisions will the largest carryover amounts.

The full list is below:

Cleveland Browns: $30.4MM
New York Jets: $26.7MM
Dallas Cowboys: $25.4MM
Jacksonville Jaguars: $23.5MM
Philadelphia Eagles: $22.8MM
New England Patriots: $19.6MM
Denver Broncos: $17.8MM
Washington Football Team: $15.8MM
Miami Dolphins: $15.2MM
Detroit Lions: $12.8MM
Cincinnati Bengals: $10.8MM
Houston Texans: $9.2MM
Indianapolis Colts: $8.3MM
Los Angeles Chargers: $8.1MM
Chicago Bears: $7MM
Los Angeles Rams: $5.7MM
Kansas City Chiefs: $5.1MM
Arizona Cardinals: $5MM
Pittsburgh Steelers: $5MM
New York Giants: $4.8MM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: $4.6MM
Minnesota Vikings: $4.5MM
Carolina Panthers: $4.3MM
New Orleans Saints: $4.1MM
Buffalo Bills: $3.8MM
Green Bay Packers: $3.7MM
Las Vegas Raiders: $3.6MM
Tennessee Titans: $2.3MM
San Francisco 49ers: $1.9MM
Atlanta Falcons: $1.8MM

So according to https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/cap/

With dead money and all players under contract the Browns have: $191,743,446 accounted for in cap space.

The NFL just set the CAP FLOOR at 180 million.

So when ever the CAP CEILING is announced (I am guessing at 200 million maybe as low as 195 million).

You then add the roll over 30.4 million to the cap space and subtract the 191.7 from the Cap Space Ceiling + the roll over to get the Browns actual cap space.

So the Browns will have 33.7 to 38.7 in cap space depending on the agreed to cap ceiling.

The Browns of course can restructure, cut or trade folks for additional salary cap relief.

**Disclaimer: This is my 1st attempt at trying to understand and post about the cap and how it works. I think I got it right. But if I missed some Depodesta mathmatical moneyball salary cap voodoo……oooppps. 😀

One note, it’s really hard to predict where the salary cap will end up being because of the impact of covid last year. If could end up AT 180 million. Who knows.

Secondly, Njoku and Hubbard jump out on that list as 2 guys that could be cap casualties. Both are good players that I wouldn’t mind keeping, they just seem like the most likely candidates to me, from a quick 10 second look at the list.

The FLOOR of the salary cap has been set at 180 million. So thats the least you can spend. Thats from the tweeted NFL memo.
So I am guessing is 180 mill floor is 80% of a 200 million cap/ceiling.
