What is Real Cap Space (from 2022)?
Hey everyone, TC here,
Are you a new subscriber to Cap & Trade Newsletter, welcome! This newsletter covers the NFL salary cap and news across the league with additional coverage of the Houston Texans. I have been covering the Houston Texans since 2012, and 2017 as credentialed media and have been working at OverTheCap.com for the past 8 years. I hope you find this newsletter informative and digestible. I subscribe to many paywall-type websites for data sourcing and aggregation, but I'm always searching for more sources. While this newsletter remains free, you can activate a paid subscription to assist in making this newsletter even better:
We are getting closer to a true remaining cap space update for the Houston Texans and the rest of the teams with more contract information becoming available today.
With the cap space update, next will be questions on how teams will need to budget their remaining cap dollars for the rest of the off-season and to budget for in-season operations.
In 2022 I wrote an article on this topic, What is Real Cap Space? I thought this would be a good time to revisit that article. Link to the article below:

We will cover how do teams allocate and budget out their expected cap dollars. Keep in mind cap dollars is not the same as cash dollars. Cap dollars is an account…
Thanks,
