Buffalo Bills have 24.2 Million in dead money, topped only by the Cowboys

YR:

Which site you pulling your deadmoney stats from?

My quick read on the data over at 'OvertheCap' is the top 4 teams, as of now, with the lowest amount of dead money are:

Colts ($1.9m)
Packers ($3.2m)
Bengals ($4.1m)
49ers ($4.4m)

All four of them were playoff teams last year.

The four teams with the most dead money going into this season:

Cowboys ($25.3m)
Bills ($24.1m)
Panthers ($19.4m)
Texans ($18.7m)

Of those 4, only the Panthers were a playoff team last season.

Thanks for doing my home work. It would be interesting to see the data from the last 5 years to see if there is any real correlation.

I've never heard about a website to look at historical cap figures, but I agree that Philadelphia is one of the teams that has always been cheap.

And although I don't know of a site to look at old salary cap figures, we can look at current cap space thanks to the NFLPA site.

We can use this site to look at current cap space available and how much money teams carried over from last year.

Jacksonville is number one in available cap space with $29.618M and number two in 2013 cap carryover with $19.645M.

Cleveland is number two in available cap space with $24.527M and number one in 2013 cap carryover with $24.537M.

The New York Jets are number three in current cap space with $24.525M but only number 23 in 2013 cap carryover with $1.473M

Philadelphia is number four in available cap space with $19.755M and number five in 2013 cap carryover with $17.139M.

Tennessee is number five in available cap space with $15.976M and number eight in 2013 cap carryover with $6.953M.

The first thing we will all probably take away from these numbers is none of the above five teams have established quarterbacks on big money contracts. They all have quarterbacks playing on cheap rookie contracts.

The jags are In a position that if they hit on Bortles they will be able to aquire a team around him to make a run in the AFC.
