Browns- $34M9. The cap number could change between the start of the season and free agency, and the Colts could be in line to deal out some extensions.

Sign up for the Colts Wire newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning. The Colts have good young stars on both sides of the ball, have a very good coaching staff and management team, a well liked and devoted owner and a team that is very close to taking that next step into the playoffs. The Indianapolis Colts appear to be in the best situation for this change. While the league has been increasing the salary cap every year pretty steadily, the pandemic is expected to force the salary cap to drop down to $175 million, which would be roughly $20 million less than it was in 2020. The Colts are spending the most money in the NFL on the quarterback position, but most of that money goes away after the 2020 season. Another extension? Jets- $62M5. That leaves just the Patriots. It’s for those reasons why I believe the Colts are the strongest candidate of the teams with adequate cap space. But the Colts don’t seem to have to worry all that much about being strapped for cash. The NFL proposed a few weeks ago that their salary floor was going to be 175M for 2021. The Cowboys could cut Zach Martin and/or Jaylon Smith and save 11M and 7M, respectively, but they are two of their best players in their primes so that wouldn’t make much sense. Those who come to mind include center Ryan Kelly, left guard Quenton Nelson and linebacker Darius Leonard as players who are coming up on contract extensions. This includes the salary cap for 2021, which is expected to be reduced greatly. That would put them 3M above the salary cap floor and give them only 6M to work with.

Regardless, the Colts are in a strong situation when it comes to the salary cap even if it is decreased substantially. An updated look at the Indianapolis Colts 2021 salary cap table, including team cap space, dead cap figures, and complete breakdowns of player cap hits, salaries, and bonuses. The Colts have one of the strongest pass blocking offensive lines in the NFL. On the defensive side of the ball, the Colts have 3 playmakers on all three levels: Buckner up front, Leonard in the middle and Moore on the back-end. The Colts have a ton of cap space, with only 109M in liabilities on the books for the 2021 season. The Free Agents of 2021… Trading one of them with that designation would save at least 17M and trading both would save 37M. They need a top tier quarterback to take them over the hump.

The Jaguars and Broncos both have quarterbacks on their roster who are young and have been performing well, so I doubt they’re going to spend 30M+ on a position that doesn’t necessarily need serious upgrading. They have a very good backfield with a young Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins also under contract for next season. The Jets and Washington are struggling franchises with poor management teams. The Colts won’t do that since Prescott won’t ask for a Mahomes deal (because he will never get one), but the Colts could afford it. As the Indianapolis Colts work through the bye week, the trade deadline for the NFL will be coming up in a few weeks as teams look to make a playoff push. Dolphins- $31M10. Colts News: Have the Colts found another undrafted gem in WR DeMichael Harris? In my opinion, trading Cooper (maybe to Indianapolis) would be the right move for them as they could get a high draft pick for him (2nd or 3rd round pick) plus freeing up 20M would give the Cowboys 20something million in cap space, which means they can afford to sign Dak to back-loaded contract. Tyron Smith and La’El Collins could also be cut, which would result in 10.5M and 8.5M cap savings, but they would be losing their two starting offensive tackles. The top 10 teams with the most cap space heading in 2021 are as follows: Of those teams, you can count out the Chargers, Bengals, Dolphins and Ravens who all have young, talented quarterbacks with great potential on their roster. The Cowboys have one real avenue to work with in terms of freeing up cap space: trading Demarcus Lawrence and/or Amari Cooper with a post-June 1st designation. Prescott was off to a very hot start despite his team’s bad start and was on pace to set several records in his franchise tag season. It is a good, offensive minded-staff that should be able to get a lot of Prescott. In my opinion, that means that we can expect a reduction of $12M-$16M for next season. Ravens- $31M. Green or Ryan Kerrigan in Indy? While the Patriots have the greatest coach of this generation, their team lacks a lot of talent on both sides of the ball and their stars (Edelman, Gilmore, McCourty twins, Hightower, Chung) are all on the wrong side of 30. In a year where the salary cap is reduced, Dak’s injury raising questions, that contract would be taken in a heartbeat and it would be impossible for the Cowboys to match it. The Colts are likely the best team of all teams with a lot of cap space. The salary cap is currently at 198M and a reduction of any sorts will leave many teams in trouble, including the Cowboys.

He appeared in 15 games while making three starts during his rookie season. Chargers- $39M8. Colts: Revisiting Indy giving up on Jerry Hughes way too early in trade with Bills by Jerry Trotta A 6 month timetable would get him back on the field in April. If the Colts can’t get Dak, then they might be able to get Cooper on for cents on the dollar. To put that in perspective, the Colts can sign Dak Prescott to a Patrick Mahomes style 7 year deal, front load it by 10% and still have around 17M until they reach the CAP FLOOR, not even the cap limit!! As it stands right now, the Cowboys have 178M in liabilities (contracts on the books for 2021). They are not in better shape than the Colts moving forward. However, blocking some types of cookies may impact your experience of the site and the services we are able to offer. To me, it’s a no brainer for both sides. It will go down by quite a bit. The contract of Jacoby Brissett officially comes off the books while Philip Rivers signed a one-year deal. That leaves the Jaguars, Colts, Jets, Patriots, Washington and Broncos.

These cap figures derive from the trade or release of players from the active roster or practice squad. That figure does not include their draft class signings and it does not include the key free agents, such as Tyrone Crawford, Aldon Smith, Sean Lee, Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis and Xavier Woods. A $14M reduction would put the 2021 NFL salary cap at 184M. Cutting Ezekiel Elliott would save them zero money and they would have to incur a lot of dead cap if they trade him (since they’ve paid him a signing bonus and guaranteed money). Those three players are all under contract for next season. That would save them 17M and 20M, respectively.

The Colts defnese has been a top 5 defense in the NFL this season and Dak would turn the offense into a top 10 one. Who knows what is in Castonzo’s future beyond 2021 (retirement? The Indianapolis Colts brought in veteran safety Tony Jefferson for a visit a few weeks ago but nothing came of it in terms of a contract. This isn’t uncharted territory for the Cowboys and teams like them, as they can restructure contracts, cut and trade players to free up space. If revenues exceed expectations, then the cap floor would be raised, but it still means there will be a serious reduction in the salary cap. There’s a good chance Dak Prescott ends up with the Colts in 2021. But the team is still keeping an eye on him, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic. Jaguars- $64M4. In fact, the Colts could trade their 2nd round pick for Amari Cooper, get their true #1 receiver and screw the Cowboys out of Cooper and Prescott! If he takes a cautious approach, he’s back on the field in May, which gives him plenty of time to prepare for OTAs and training camp plus have a full preseason. The Colts do lack a true #1 receiver, but in this year’s strong receiving class, that could be found. For the Colts, the 2021 free agency class features some vital names to the team's success and it isn't clear where the front stands on many of the impending free agents. Their two largest contracts, Demarcus Lawrence and Amari Cooper can’t be cut as the team will incur a massive loss so that would only make things worse. The Colts’ coaching staff did wonders for Andrew Luck as he had, arguably, his best season as a Colt in 2018. They also have three young promising receiving options in Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell and Mo Alie-Cox plus stable receivers in Jack Doyle and Zach Pascal.

The unit of Castonzo-Nelson-Kelly-Glowinski-Smith will most likely be returning next season as all are under contract and all but Castonzo are in the prime of their careers.
