The league salary cap going into 2015 was 143.28m. 
They rolled a little over 8m from 2014.
That made their total 'team' salary cap 151.66m. 
They spent 140m of the cap space and had about 4m in dead money.

For 2016, the league salary cap was 155.27m. 
They again rolled over the 7.6 m from 2015.
This made their total 'team' cap 163m.
They spent 153m and had about 3.3m in dead money.

This year, the league salary cap is 167m.
They rolled over 6.5m left from last year.
That makes the 'team' cap 173.5m.

So, the 15 mil includes 6.5 from last year?
