Now that free agency and the NFL Draft are in the rearview mirror, most teams have used up the bulk of their cap space and are shifting focus towards OTAs and getting ready for next season, but it never hurts to get a nice middle-of-the-year gift out of the blue.
We have passed June 1st, which means a handful of NFL teams are gaining a nice chunk of cap space as a result of offseason roster cuts made prior to that date that didn’t take effect until now.
Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team shared on X that many teams have opened up plenty of flexibility in terms of cap space, especially the Los Angeles Raiders getting $24 million in space due to cutting Jimmy Garoppolo, the Miami Dolphins getting $18.5 million from Xavien Howard, the San Francisco 49ers gaining $17.8 million due to Arik Armstead, and the Arizona Cardinals getting $15.95 million due to cutting DJ Humphries.
The following NFL teams are gaining cap space today as a result of prior post-June 1 cuts made this offseason:
– #Raiders: $24M (Jimmy Garoppolo)
– #Dolphins: $18.5M (Xavien Howard)
– #49ers: $17.8M (Arik Armstead)
– #Cardinals: $15.95M (DJ Humphries)
– #Packers: $10.6M…

Other teams that received cap relief include the Green Bay Packers getting $10.6 million (De’Vondre Campbell), the Buffalo Bills getting $10.2 million (Tre’Davious White), the Dallas Cowboys getting $9.5 million (Michael Gallup), and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers getting $4.9 million (Shaq Barrett).
Plenty of big names are still sitting on the open market, so these squads have plenty of time to bring in reinforcements if they see something they aren’t thrilled with during OTAs.
Three of the top four names on this list are still available after being cut, including Garoppolo, Howard, and Humphries, and all three could still be a huge help to an organization.
