Correct.

In the NFL, cap rollover is the practice of carrying over unused salary cap space from one season to the next:
How it works
Teams can roll over up to 100% of their remaining cap space to the next season. To do so, they must notify the NFL by 4 PM EDT the day after the regular season ends.
Benefits
Cap rollover allows teams to save money for future needs, such as signing new players or re-signing existing ones.
Limitations
Teams must still spend at least 89% of their cap over a four-year period. They can't keep increasing their cap indefinitely.
Penalties
Violating the salary cap can result in fines, contract cancellation, and loss of draft picks.
