Up until recently all cap figures were working on projections. Well, now we have the official NFL cap number for this year. It’s $177,200,000; up about $10 million from last year’s figure.
With the official number set, the NFLPA factored in rollover from last year to give each team their individual cap number. The Raiders had $7,626,880 in cap rollover from last year which gives them an official cap number of $184,826,880 for this year.
Their cap spending on the top 51 players is right around $165 million, give or take a few hundred thousand depending on the source you are using.
