[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 778998"] You're right. Given the large discrepancy in the Cleveland example, my earlier certainty is rendered null and void. :eek: That takes us back to your earlier statement, "I'm all but convinced that the team cap on the NFLPA's website is the current amount the Packers have allocated towards the cap (top 51 contracts plus dead money)." That accounts for fewer and smaller discrepancies. In the Cleveland eaxmple that $169 mil cap hit syncs up pretty close with spotracs $168 mil while overthecap is lagging at $157 mil. That takes us to the oddity you identified: "Both the NFLPA and Spotrac have similar numbers for the Packers current team cap but for some [reason] I'm not capable of figuring out [why] the players union website lists the team with an additional $3.4 million cap space." I can't account for that $3.4 mil discrepancey either, after trying once and failing :sleep:, but I'll offer a last conjecture. A few years back I vaguely recall reading about team-specific "cap adjustments" in addition to carryover, though I cannot remember the causes nor find an old or current source discussing them. This link [URL]https://russellstreetreport.com/salarycap/nfl-salary-cap-faqs/mentions[/URL] "net incentive adjustments" but does not go on to explain them. It kinda sounds like unlikely to be earned incentives being earned which which drive the cap space down.
