But they also show $5.292 rolled over to 2022 from 2021.  So I don't know exactly how they are calculating this.  Where did you get your info on where the Bengals ranked in "rollover"?  Could you show the actual numbers on rollover amount for all the playoff teams?

BTW One of the big reasons the Bengals were able to sign the guys they wanted this year is that they were 28th in "dead cap" space this year.  So maybe all they guys saying "Cap does not matter" need to explain to me why all these other teams have dead cap space that they can not use?  How does that make them smarter than the Bengals?

NFL teams recently declared unused 2021 cap space rollover amounts (below).

After the playoffs, the NFL will audit incentives, bonuses, etc by team. That figure will be added/subtracted to the number below.
