2026 Roster & Cap (93 players)
Click a column to sort. Cap hit shaded by size. APY is what the deal he is on pays per year, and Worth is what our model says a new deal would cost per year — those two are the comparison, not the cap hit, which is only this season's charge. Worth is shaded by how far it sits above the APY beside it. Kickers and punters have no comparable pool, so they show no Worth. How it is built →
