Brenden Schooler’s unearned LTBE active roster bonuses remain on 2026 cap. Patriots will receive credit on 2027. As of now have Brender Schooler with four NLTBE active roster bonuses for 2027. A Marcus Bryant return that fills a current open spot will decrease my Patriots salary cap space number.

No-brainer Hall of Famer. The Eagles' splits with and without him were silly. I don't think there was a performance drop-off here, either. I just think mentally he was done with the game and wanted to move on. Gave it a shot for one more season but his heart wasn't in it.

Brenden Schooler’s salary was unaffected by his placement on NFI. He is not earning active roster bonuses while on NFI. Marcus Bryant’s salary was decreased when he was placed on IR. It will be increased if and when he is activated.

My new Patriots salary cap space number after today's transactions is $4,083,707 - a $781,666 increase from my lunchtime update. The Patriots have: 52 active players 17 practice squad players 11 players on IR Harold Landry on PUP Brenden Schooler on NFI

$301,200,000 (Official 2026 League Cap) Plus
$47,274,868 (2025 Carryover) Plus

Patriots Cash Spending to League Cap Ratio = 111.47%

Note I have removed the unearned active roster bonuses (Julian Hill, Harold Landry, Brenden Schooler, Carlton Davis, Mike Onwenu, Dre'Mont Jones, and Greg Van Roten) from the above cash spending number. Please also note I have almost removed any guaranteed salary that has been offset from the cash spending total. Example - I am not including Stefon Diggs' $1.7M salary in my cash spending total since it was offset by his Commanders compensation.

I have the Patriots 2026 effective salary cap space number as a negative $2,221,764 after projecting these future expenses

$700,000 for Practice Squad players elevations
$4,605,471 for earned NLTBE active roster bonuses.
$1M to replace injured players

I expect the Patriots to create more cap space sometime during the season.

This is a microcosm of where the Bills defense is at mentally right now. Look at the communication. It’s frantic, not decisive, and up to the last minute. Also note the body language with how hurried it all is + the lack of confidence/understanding

We're six years into the 17-game schedule. And it occurred to me earlier... Could this rash of injuries we're seeing through the early weeks of this season maybe the symptom of the wear and tear of an extra week added over seasons, plus a shortened pre-season where starters barely get reps?

The Texans and Buccaneers are two of the best 0-4 teams ever by DVOA. Texans are at -25 point differentials, Bucs at -20. The 2004 Bills ended up as the best DVOA team to ever miss the playoffs. They wouldn't have made it even with seven teams -- they were the No. 8 seed.
