[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 479247"] The other side of the coin is the minimum salary cap. Beginning with the 2013 season, teams must pay out a minimum of 89% of the salary cap in cash. There are a few teams that might be bound to add salary through extensions or free agency. The following link shows estimated cap space as of November, which gives some indication of who might need to add payouts: [url]http://nfltraderumors.co/nfl-team-cap-space/[/url] I would caution that some estimates of team cap space for 2013 based on existing contracts (which would exclude pending FAs) can be quite a bit different. For example, I saw a note that the Colts are slated to be more than $40 mil under the cap next season; I'd presume they have some high-priced guys becoming FAs, though I've not checked it out.
