I'm looking to verify where the Jaguars are currently under the cap to know if that $18 mil rollover estimate is in the ballpark.

According to Overthecap, the Jaguars are $18.9 mil under a $206.7 mil cap (includes rollover from 2017 and adjustments). An $18.9 mil rollover would leave the Jaguars a mere $500,000 over their $190 mil cap estimate for 2019.

Spotrac, on the other hand, only has the Jaguars $11.3 mil under a $205 mil cap right now.  Again, there's a discrepancy to figure out...

Spotrac uses a base cap figure for all teams this year of  $177.2 mil. They added $27.8 mil in rollover money from 2017 to get to their $205 mil adjusted cap. Overthecap is also using $177.2 mil, so they're in agreement on the base cap number.

So why the $1.7 mil difference for the Jaguars adjusted cap. I suspect this may have to do with incentives adjustments having already noticed that Spotrac's figure is strictly the base cap plus rollover money. According to Overthecap, they use the following formula...


Quote:Team Salary Cap = (Base Salary Cap) + (Carryover) +/- (Adjustments)


My guess is that the difference is these adjustments, and that again Overthecap's number for the Jaguars adjusted cap is correct at $206.7 mil. This, in turn, brings the Spotrac estimate to $13 mil under, but there's still a difference of nearly $6 mil. Spotrac has our current cap around $193 mil where Overthecap only has us at $187 mil.

I would have to figure out why the discrepancy in their current cap amount to know if we're $18.9 mil under or only $13 mil under right now.
