Arizona Cardinals to add about $16 million in cap space on June 2nd
The Arizona Cardinals are about to get some cap relief, as the team will get their relief from D.J. Humphries contract this Sunday, as they had designated him as a post-June 1st cut.
We had a primer on that yesterday:
In the NFL’s accounting rules, any move involving dead cap that happens after June 1 is split into two seasons.
Instead of actually waiting until June 2 to make the release official, the NFL allows you to designate the move ahead of time. In March at the start of the league year, you can release that player, then carry their existing cap hit until June 2.
So, how much space are they getting?
First off, the the Cardinals moved $6.9 million in 2024 and $6.9 million moved to 2025,
Here is the amount of 2024 cap space created on June 2 from the transactions above:
Arizona Cardinals: D.J. Humphries ($16 million)
So, with that in mind, how do you want to see the Arizona Cardinals utilize that cap space? Is there a player you want to see re-signed? Is there a player in free agency that could help out?
We have some ideas we will look at tomorrow.
