Bills How much cap space does each NFL team have currently?

How much cap space does each NFL team have currently?

Where do the Bills sit ahead of the start of the new NFL year?

At the outset of the 2022 NFL offseason, here's how much cap space each NFL team currently has to work with according to Over The Cap:

AFC East:

Miami Dolphins: $63.81 million
New York Jets: $48.20 million
New England Patriots: $8.33 million
Buffalo Bills: -$4.95 million

As the Bills look to remain one of the NFL's elite teams, they'll need to do some financial maneuvering this offseason. Cole Beasley, Mitch Morse and A.J. Klein could all be cap casualties.

Cincinnati Bengals

AFC North:

Cincinnati Bengals: $57.31 million
Pittsburgh Steelers: $31.21 million
Cleveland Browns: $25.01 million
Baltimore Ravens: $8.77 million

Joe Burrow will become eligible for a new contract after the 2022 regular season, but for now, the Bengals have the third-most cap space in the NFL and would be wise to make major investments on their offensive line.

AFC South:

Jacksonville Jaguars: $59.25 million
Indianapolis Colts: $37.38 million
Houston Texans: $17.56 million
Tennessee Titans: -$7.17 million

Deshaun Watson will make $35 million in 2022, so it goes without saying that general manager Nick Caserio and the Texans are especially motivated to reach a resolution with Watson this offseason.

AFC West:

Los Angeles Chargers: $56.30 million
Denver Broncos: $38.05 million
Las Vegas Raiders: $20.54 million
Kansas City Chiefs: $3.45 million

The Chargers are in a division where both the Chiefs and Raiders made the playoffs and the Broncos are a star quarterback away from potentially being Super Bowl contenders. As they look to keep up in the most loaded division in the NFL - while also knowing that a long-term deal for Justin Herbert isn't far off - the Chargers would be wise to reach a new contract with wide receiver Mike Williams, who had 76 catches for 1,146 yards in a walk year.

NFC East:

Washington Commanders: $31.90 million
Philadelphia Eagles: $21.53 million
New York Giants: -$12.02 million
Dallas Cowboys: -$21.45 million

Even with a quarterback still on his rookie contract and a team that went 4-13 in 2021, new Giants general manager Joe Schoen is inheriting a cap disaster. Perhaps the worst deal is for injury-prone wide receiver Kenny Golladay, who will carry a $21.15 million cap number in 2022. If the Giants cut Golladay before June 1, they would be left with $23.6 million in dead cap money. So the Giants are stuck with him for, at least, another season.

NFC North:

Chicago Bears: $28.65 million
Detroit Lions: $22.74 million
Minnesota Vikings: -$15.34 million
Green Bay Packers: -$50.79 million

The Packers may be "all-in" on Aaron Rodgers for 2022, but they are going to have a hell of a time convincing the four-time NFL MVP that they'll be able to put a championship-caliber team around him next season given their cap situation. Two-time All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams, Rodgers' favorite target, is set to become a free agent.

NFC South:

Carolina Panthers: $16.58 million
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: $3.08 million
Atlanta Falcons: -$7.32 million
New Orleans Saints: -$76.00 million

Sean Payton probably was burned out in New Orleans, but his decision to walk away was made easier by the fact the Saints have the worst cap situation in the NFL. Taysom Hill will carry a $12.33 million hit in 2021, but the Saints would be left with $19 million in dead cap money if they released him before June 1. It's entirely possible Michael Thomas has played his last game with the Saints, but if they trade the former All-Pro wideout before June 1, he'll leave them with $22.7 million in dead cap money next season. 2022 projects to be a lean year for Mickey Loomis, Dennis Allen and the Saints.

NFC West:

Seattle Seahawks: $36.44 million
Arizona Cardinals: -$813,256
San Francisco 49ers: -$4.48 million
Los Angeles Rams: -$17.80 million

Even if Andrew Whitworth retires, Les Snead will have his work cut out trying to retain Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr., two major in-season additions that helped the Rams to win Super Bowl LVI.
