The New England Patriots have nearly $8m in salary cap space after settling two compensation grievances, ESPN reported on Saturday.
It gives the Patriots some flexibility for in-season roster moves after they started the week with less than $500,000 in cap space.
The club now has $7.79m in cap space after settling compensation grievances with former wideout Antonio Brown and the late Aaron Hernandez, according to ESPN reporters Field Yates and Mike Reiss.
New England cut Brown on September 20, one game after he signed a one-year, $15m contract, with the former Pittsburgh Steelers star set to receive $5m of the $9m he was owed.
