NFL free agency is just over a month away, and soon teams will be managing their cap space in order to fit a new slew of players. One often forgotten part of the salary cap equation is the rollover from last year. Put simply, if you don’t use it, you don’t lose it.
On Thursday, the NFL Players Association released official figures on how much rollover cap each team will have in 2019. According to the graphic, the Lions will be carrying an addition $6.4 million in cap space.
The CBA allows teams to carry over unused salary cap space from the previous year.
