Welcome to the first website that was focused on covering a NFL team's salary cap.
I would like to thank Pats39, Peachhead, Jim S, Chris Matthews "CJ", Ian Logue, Andrew Brecher, Jocelyn Robichaud, Naren99, Ickster, dscotts, Ralmat55, PatsFanKen, Urgent, Hurricane1, Norman Trudel, the Homers, Ed Bryant, David Tremblay, Steve Haggett, JDSal45, Paul Dalrymple, DaBruinz, Patriots569, MoLewisRocks, PromisedLand, David Gallagher, ctpatsfan77, Deus Irae and persons who ask to remain nameless. Each of them have in their own way provided invaluable assistance and guidance. Please note that NONE of them are responsible for errors on this page.
Please note that Paul Katcher of Time Magazine called this page "by far the weirdest site I came across while researching this guide" in his listing of Essential bookmarks for the true football fan. and that on Page 4 of the September 3, 2001 issue of Time Magazine this page is referred to as "informed analysis of the Patriots' salary-cap problems."
DraftDaddy.Com labeled this page as "perhaps the most complete single team salary cap page on the web".
SportsRetort.Com labels this page as "an amazing resource; ideally, every team would have such a page devoted to it."
Bill Barnwell in a guest column on FootballOutsiders.Com called this page "excellent".
The Boston Globe's Mike Reiss opined this in of his mailbags - "As for the best source for the most complete and accurate salary cap and contract information, I recommend patscap.com. It is put together by a devoted Patriots fan named Miguel. While he acknowledges the numbers aren't 100 percent accurate because they are culled together from various published reports, he is very detailed and the site is unlike any other I've seen."

According to my figures the Patriots' 2014 current commitment is for $120,452,158 with 64 players signed. My numbers do INCLUDE the cap impact of the Chung signing and the Adrian Wilison release. I have the Patriots' 2014 dead money as $10,724,524. $10,724,857 + $120,452,158 = $131,176,682. The Patriots 2014 adjusted cap number is $139,109,051 so I have the Pats under it by $7,932,369. The NFLPA cap report has the Patriots under their adjusted cap number by $7,932,369 so our numbers match.
Whenever you hear/read reports that the Pats will need 5 million to sign their 2014 draft class please first review OvertheCap.Com's 2014 rookie pool estimates and Adamjt13's blog post on the rookie pool which I consider the best explanation of how the rookie pool works within the salary cap.
