2013 season Salary Cap update for all NFL teams as of Jan. 4, 2014

Here is the latest update for the 2013 season for all 32 teams (figures courtesy of the NFLPA's public League Cap Report website). As can be seen here, and as I wrote about in my previous post (HERE), the Giants finished dead last in the entire league with respect to cap space, with only $24,947 left in available cap room.

The 20 non-playoff teams like the Giants gave up the ghost for the 2013 season last Sunday, so they no longer have anything to worry about from an in-season cap perspective; however, the remaining teams competing in the post-season still do.

The 12 playoff teams rank as follows compared to each other with respect to available cap space rankings in order of most available cap space to least available cap space. They range from 5th most available cap space in the entire NFL (Philadelphia with $17,179,142) to 30th most available cap space on the league (Indianapolis with $632,910):

1. Philadelphia - 5th most available cap space - $17,179,142
2. Carolina - 6th most available cap space - $11,637,268
3. Green Bay - 7th most available cap space - $9,863,883
4. Cincinnati - 8th most available cap space - $8,181,604
5. Denver - 11th most available cap space - $6,609,821
6. New England - 13th most available cap space - $4,089,488
7. Seattle - 15th most available cap space - $2,963,336
8. Kansas City - 17th most available cap space - $2,457,691
9. San Diego - 18th most available cap space - $2,349,416
10. San Francisco - 19th most available cap space - $2,232,538
11. New Orleans - 29th most available cap space - $633,292
12. Indianapolis - 30th most available cap space - $632,910

None of these teams will have any problems getting through the post-season---even New Orleans & Indianapolis who rank 29th & 30th respectively. The Saints & colts bring up the rear on this group of playoff teams: The Saints have $633,292 in available cap space, while the Colts have $632,910 left they can spend this season. Both teams are more than fine with respect to getting through the maximum possible 4 games they can play. The only teams who would have problems getting through the post-season form the list I'm about to provide would be the Rams and Giants. Of course, neither of those two teams have to worry about that.

I'll double check, but unless I'm mistaken, the carryover amounts for the 20 non-playoff teams going into 2014 will be taken from the figures below. Without further ado, here they are (listed in order of most cap space to least cap space and then in alphabetical order for the sake of easier reference). I'll list the cap numbers for all 32 clubs again in another 2 weeks, when the Conference Title games will be played, & another 8 teams will have been eliminated from the playoffs. Now, have a look at the figures below:
