With millions in cap space, will Jaguars be major free agency players?

The NFL Players Association announced on Thursday that all 32 NFL teams are carrying over unused salary-cap money from 2015 that will be added to their 2016 cap amount, though the amount each club brought into the coming season varies greatly.

The average carryover is $6.4 million, but the Seattle Seahawks’ amount is a league-low $11,587. The Jacksonville Jaguars’ amount is a league-high $32.8 million (see the per-team amount below). For reasons that are unclear, the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints did not carry over the full amount available to them.

With the leaguewide salary cap expected to be around $154 million per team for 2016, adding their carryover give the Jaguars an adjusted cap number of $186.8 million. Currently, Jacksonville has $114.7 million committed to player contracts for the 2016 season.

What does all that mean? It means that without cutting a single player currently under contract for the coming season, and setting aside about $8 million for their draft picks, the Jaguars have approximately $64 million to spend in free agency.

In other words: you’re looking for $12 million a year, Malik Jackson? Welcome to Jacksonville!
