NFL team with most salary cap space
Heading into the new league year, the New England Patriots have the most cap space at $100.8 million. This is a decrease from their league-high $119.8 million before the tampering window. The Patriots hired Mike Vrabel as the new head coach as they look to bring the organization back to prominence. The franchise will likely continue searching for ways to improve the offensive line to protect QB Drake Maye . They've spent $212.4 million already since the tampering window opened. This includes the $105 million contract former Eagles DT Milton Williams agreed to on Monday.
