2024 Salary Cap Likely to be Higher Than Projected

Article does not say what it was last year. Just what it was eons ago.

Here is the Spotrac info. And you can filter by year.

It appears to be a $20 million difference.

Lots of dead cap $, yikes. Effectively managed, the Saints still can over time get themselves out of the overspending frenzy under which they've justified their decisions. It's in essence a $63 million difference they need to manage with restructures, etc...

Last year's cap was $224,800,000.

The Saints only have $2.841 million of dead cap for 2024. That's the 11th lowest figure in the league. Twenty-one teams have more dead cap than the Saints in 2024. The league average is $7.7 million. Twelve teams have over $10.5 million in dead cap.
