With Brian McFarland’s @Ravenssalarycap permission I am using his fine work at On May 3 the Boston Globe’s Ben Volin tweeted that the New England Patriots’ 2016 rookie pool “is $5,094,472”. This is an oft misunderstood number, because while it is part of the team’s Salary Cap, it does not have a dollar-for-dollar impact on the team’s overall Salary Cap. The Rookie Salary Cap is often referred to as “a cap within a cap” because it limits the amount that teams can allocate to their rookies in the year they were drafted (and over the life of the rookies’ contracts).
