The NFL sets the salary cap each year after the season and before the new league year. Since 2013, it has steadily increased by $10-12 million. In 2012, a new CBA was signed after the lockout, and TV deals pumped a ton of money into the league’s coffers, allowing players to grow. That changed three years ago when the NFL wanted to share some of the losses from the past three years. The cap dropped to $15.7 million in 2020-21, but was reinstated two years ago. The NFL set the 2023 salary cap at $224.8 million, which is $16.6 million more than the 2022 cap of $208.2 million. Most projections had the 2024 cap hit at $242 million, but Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reports that one of his sources said next season’s cap is closer to $250 million. 4,444 The Washington Commanders currently have $73.65 million in free cap space, according to Over the Cap, but that is based on their $242 million cap hit. If Florio’s source is correct, Washington still has the most cap space in the NFL, but that number tops $81 million.There are a lot of changes in Washington that started at the top of the organization and resulted in new leadership in the front office and a new coaching staff. Head coach Josh Harris and his ownership group bought the team in July and fired head coach Ron Rivera on Black Monday after a 4-13 season. Adam Peters was hired as the new general manager and Dan Quinn as the head coach after an extensive search.The Chiefs have the second pick this year and six of the first 103. Free agency starts next month and Adam Peters will have the first chance to connect with new players. He also has to make decisions about those 28 free agents. The big names on the roster are S Kamren Curl, CB Kendall Fuller, WR Curtis Samuel and RB Antonio Gibson.There’s a good chance Washington will move on from all of them under a new coaching staff, but Fuller might be the player the team wants to bring back because he was the team’s best CB last season. Terry has been a critical part of the defense since being drafted on special teams in the 7th round, but he could opt out of his new contract with Washington.Could Blake Watson be a versatile weapon for Washington like Antonio Gibson?Mark Tyler’s 2024 Washington Commanders Combine Pregame OffseasonDaily Slop – 20-Feb-24: Washington’s 2021 draft pick contract add-on; The NFL’s Top 150 Free AgentsAll on Twitter: Feb 20, 2024 – It’s the offseason and Washington fans are talking about… wait for it… quarterbacksDaily Slop – 19Feb24: Daniel Jeremiah warns of “ unprecedented” trade WilliamsAll on Twitter: February 19, 2024 – Links to articles, updates and more 4,444.
