No real big player except Jennings is a UFA or unsigned for 2026, though McKivitz & Burford might get nice sized deals as FAs.

With all the signings and changes, does anyone know how our salary cap situation looks like next year because I think we have a lot of dead money this year.

You should ask this question in the salary cap thread.

This, but to OP give it a few days till I see the terms come out/in, we'll likely see them for Brock & Fred this week, PFT always has those details before anyone, especially the big deals, somehow Florio gets them.

FYI, Andre Dillard's deal is minimum salary, but he has $315K GTD in his deal, he should be the front runner for the swing T spot.

I wonder how he would be at LG? Like how Beckton was trash at OT but been a stud since Philly moved him inside.

Forgot about Zakelj, & FYI, 43 pending free agents, only big free agent is Jauan, McKivitz, then possible Burford & Gross-Matos could get a decent sized deal.

Still waiting on Warner's terms, nothing yet, was hoping Florio would have posted them on PFT today, but I have us under by $37,356,279, includes Brock's new deal + projected contracts for Alfred Collins & CJ West, but before Warner deal, as for 2026, right now they'd be $10,725,477 under a projected $305M cap, again before Warner's deal, which likely saved a good amount in 2025 & 2026.

Is the $10.7 million number for 2026 before or after rolling over 2025?

Yes, right now we have about $37.3M in cap room for 2025 before the Warner extension which should bring his 2025 & 2026 cap number down by potentially $10M each year, meaning that's $20M extra, $10M in 2025 & $10M in 2026, so they could theoretically have in the $50M cap room range.

I think there is a chance we keep Mckivitz on a team friendly deal but it's likely Burford and Mckivitz is gone. The O line market is wild af and would be really difficult to pay them anywhere close to what they can get.

how many of those guys listed above are on the 53 roster?

Do you mean how many are likely to make the 53?

The salary cap situation is too hard to follow. Players coming and going every year. Contracts being reworked. Let paraag figure it out and just enjoy your whatever you do. on'y worry about the cap.

I still think they should just do away with it. Kind of strange that the game that depends the most on depth and teamwork has a salary structure that works against both of those things. The NFL brings in the most revenue so let the owners spend whatever they want. Let's get rid of the farce known as the salary cap and allow teams to build some depth so every season doesn't depend on who has the fewest injuries. $50 million dollar QBs need good protection around them. Not bargain basement players.
