Is there an "official" cap source? It would be nice if he posted a source.

Anyway, here are two sources that seem to disagree. The figure does depend on timing.

Albert Breer posted cap space from an official NFL internal memo last week that had us at $5.9M. So if you add the $1.8M from Torrey’s release then factor in two minimum contracts to get to 53(since offseason is the top 51) plus the practice squad that should put us around $6M and change. I’m thinking someone added in an extra 1 in front of our number by mistake because $6.5M makes sense.

9 million.  They are always a few days late after signings and guys getting cut but that is were to find the official numbers the NFL uses.

Says that is a top 51 report so wouldn’t include 2 minimum contacts and likely the practice squad which would total a little over $2M.

Practice squad players do not count against the cap number.  They never have.  The top 51 stays at the top of the page, even during the season.  They should change it but they don't during the regular season. 

The link and the numbers listed are the official numbers used by the NFL.  You can add and subtract things all you want but the NFL doesn't.

Practice squad players absolutely count against the cap

      I know that. I'm not predicting it. Just putting the information out there so I will have receipts for later on when this dude turns into a stud at this level too.  It's kinda bittersweet, he'd help our offense out a great deal, but I'm wanting a QB next draft, so adding another weapon for Bryce is counterproductive in that regard.

      I'm not sure if NO will be as QB aggressive as some assume.  They may focus on landing a top line prospect and slow rolling the rebuild for next year.  Could see them roll the dice in R3-4 to compete with Rattler, maybe a Howard fit.     I think the QB starved team's just take the gamble the Saints don't want Sanders, and target a mid to late 1st pick for a trade up to land him.  Still don't think Milroe or Shough are going R1.   But I think what may get lost in the trade up talk is about it being QB specific. A top team trying to get over the top could be the juicy trade (or two) that happens in round 1. Something I've flirted with is how aggressive Buffalo could be.  They have the ammunition for a big trade up, and I think Golden would pair super well with Coleman.  They need to cut to the chase and get playmakers there for Allen.  So yeah, love the idea of a BUF/ATL trade where they move up for him.  I'm even thinking about LAR getting aggressive for Warren or Loveland.  Imagine McVay rolling into 2026 with that added piece for a future QB...
