Current cap situations around the league

  1. Nick will be able to work some magic with restructures and some people will be cut. But still.

  2. Now do 2028 (we have $200m+ in space)

    Team is far, far more flexible than anyone here cares to understand.

    Edit: I should add that all of this goes out the window if Caserio gets fired and a new GM with an entirely different cap philosophy is hired. I’m projecting based on how I think Caserio specifically likes to build things. A new guy could go bonkers on day 1 with free agents and vastly restrain our future ability to retain players by trying to “win now”

  3. That’s why I think signing Linderbaum will be a pipe dream. They’ll probably look for a solid vet. We have a lot of free agents leaving that need to be replaced and a draft class to sign.

  4. As much as it sucks, mixon has to go. He was fun to watch but he’s older and we don’t even know what is wrong with him.

  5. Cut Mixon, restructure Schultz by adding some years at the end of it, re-sign Ingram, extend WAJ.

    Hope there’s very little dead money

  6. None of this means much till Free Agency, so many moves will be made that this is irrelevant right now.

  7. Two players (Hunter and Tytus) tie up 20% of the Texans ’26 cap. Big numbers — $31 million hit for Hunter and $28 million for Tytus in ’26. I would assume restructures there since both are in the final year of their contracts (before the voidable years begin in ’27). They’ve restructured Tytus in ’24 and ’25 to save on cap so this could be the third time they restructure him (if they do). It will also be interesting to see how they do Hunter because he already has a big dead money hit for future years sitting out there in addition to his $31 million hit in ’26 based on the one year extension they gave him last year.
