You know I'd dig deeper.

So, the Overthecap estimate for the Jaguars cap of $187.78 mil under is the top 51 active contracts, however, from my years of following the cap I know you're supposed to include any dead cap cap hits among the top 51 and then account for the additional dead money. Overthecap is not accounting for any dead money.

Chris Ivory carries a $3 mil dead money hit which should actually be included in the top 51 instead of Ben Koyack's $630,000 cap hit. There's another $1.44 mil in additional dead money that also has to be included. The Spotrac figure appears to include this and more, which might be accounting for the rookie pool contracts that would count under top 51 rules. The Jaguars rookie pool is $5.42 mil, but later round picks and UDFAs won't count under top 51 rules. 

With all of this in mind, I'll go with Spotrac's $193.7 mil figure for the Jaguars current cap under top 51 rules, which in turn puts them at $13 mil under to possibly roll over.


If we're able to subtract $13 mil in rollover money from the $19.4 mil over figure, the Jaguars are $6.4 mil over the 2019 cap.
