exponentially larger. When people ask where it will all end —— the cap goes up as television revenue, gate and stadium revenue all rise. Television networks appear to use the NFL as a loss leader for network exposure and this trend shows no sign of abating.

If we look at growth in the salary cap in different decades you can see how the NFL has really calmed things down over the initial era of the cap pic.twitter.com/piAut2jdPL

The Commanders’ effective salary cap projection is now $75.2M, per @Jason_OTC.

That number includes paying the incoming draft class. https://t.co/ycrIkE3W11

Now updated from @Jason_OTC – Commanders have $87M in space, $75M effective pic.twitter.com/fQBnkc0gjb

The Commanders’ effective cap space for 2024, per @Jason_OTC: $75.2 million.

That’s how much they’re projected to have, based on the $255.4 million cap, after signing at least 51 players and their rookie class.

Nell lol, they are not having a QB competition between Sam and the number 2 overall draft pick. They also should not have one. https://t.co/FTjnDT8M2k

The cutting Wylie thing is silly. I get most fans hate him, but cutting him would cost nearly 8m in dead cap and only save 1.5m. Might as well just keep him, even if it’s just as a back up. Makes much more sense to cut him next year when those numbers flip

I know many of you LOVE college football, but as I start to dive into these college QBs, it’s hard for me to even watch: very few play on schedule, the pass concepts are a mess most of the time, they run the same play over & over, a million bubble screens, can’t find many…

More from @LFletcher59 on QB at No. 2: “It’s hard not to watch this year’s film and not think Daniels is the guy. His film this year was impressive…Drake Maye’s 2022 film was as good as Daniels this year…Whoever it is I’m going to support him.”

Talking w @LFletcher59 about Commanders: “This coaching staff on paper is as impressive as I’ve seen….We heard that people want to work with Dan Quinn and now you’re seeing it.”

Talking w @bradbiggs about Bears plans at No. 1: “I expect them to draft a QB at No. 1 overall…See if they can find a trade partner for Justin Fields…The process begins with Caleb Williams but there’s a lot of heavy lifting to do…They’ve got to continue to do their due…

Was drafted by Dan Quinn’s Atlanta Falcons and signed by the 49ers last year, so has ties to Adam Peters too. Certianly not a must-have, priority free agent but might be a depth option to keep an eye on for Washington https://t.co/MKcLF1WIbr

The #Dolphins have informed CB Xavien Howard he will be released at the start of the league year, sources tell me and @PSchrags. The four-time Pro Bowl selection is expected to have significant interest on the market.

NFL free agency news: 4-time Pro Bowl CB Xavien Howard will be released by the Dolphins at the start of the league year, source confirms (1st – @MikeGarafolo).

Howard should have a robust market. Will be interesting to see if Washington chooses to target pricier FAs.

Caps are coming to south FL with their own injury issues. Nic Dowd left in win over Devils and Martin Fehervary has missed two games. Last night in win over Bolts, TJ Oshie was in great distress after non-contact issue, fell to ice and had to be helped to the room. #TimeToHunt

Carbery told reporters in Florida that they will continue to monitor T.J. Oshie. Didn’t share any definitely updates with regard to timeline, but didn’t skate today and won’t skate tomorrow. Says it’s too early to tell the severity.
