Updated NFL Salary Cap Outlook for All 32 Teams Entering Week 2 of Free Agency 2026

The first week of NFL free agency is in the books, and while many of the biggest names have already been signed, several quality free agents and trade targets are still waiting to be picked up by the teams that can afford them.

Yes, some teams do still have cap space, even if last week's explosion of spending might suggest otherwise.

In fact, a handful of teams still have a significant surplus of cap room with which to attack the second wave of free agency. Here, you'll find an overview of where each team stands, a recap of what you may have missed over the weekend, and a look at what lies ahead.

Weekend Recap

Dallas Goedert

For anyone who followed along with the free-agent frenzy of early last week, things were comparatively quiet and bargain-oriented over the weekend.

B/R's Gary Davenport had his 10 biggest free-agent Steals of Week 1, which can be found here.

While the money didn't flow quite as freely over the weekend, some notable players did reach new deals. On Saturday, for example, the Washington Commanders signed running back Jerome Ford to a one-year deal, while the Los Angeles Chargers re-signed backup quarterback Trey Lance.

The Houston Texans signed lineman Evan Brown, while the New York Giants added wide receiver Darnell Mooney, and the Seattle Seahawks signed cornerback Noah Igbinoghene.

Sunday was even slower, though we did see the Carolina Panthers re-sign safety Nick Scott and the Arizona Cardinals sign Devin Duvernay.

The Philadelphia Eagles also worked out a new deal with tight end Dallas Goedert. Goedert's new agreement allows Philly to avoid a $20 million dead-cap hit that would have processed when his old contact voided on Monday.

Week 2 Preview

A.J. Brown

Teams will obviously continue to sign players as free agency moves into Week 2. However, a couple of storylines may overshadow the week's additions.

The first involves the Pittsburgh Steelers and their search for a 2026 starting quarterback. Pittsburgh appears content to wait for Aaron Rodgers to choose between playing again next season or retirement—a decision he may make sooner than later.

"My understanding was Aaron Rodgers had planned to inform these Steelers of his decision at some point before the draft with plenty of time," Rapoport said on Good Morning Football (h/t Jacob Punturi of SI.com. "I would say likely end of this month." 

The Steelers watched Malik Willis, Tua Tagovailoa, Kyler Murray, and Geno Smith find new homes during the first week of free agency. They may turn to another veteran like Kirk Cousins or Joe Flacco if Rodgers decides to retire, but they seem more interested in second-year QB Will Howard than in adding a rookie next month.

"He is going to get a shot," Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said in a live chat (h/t Christian Flaherty of Steeler Nation). "Their plan, as I stated earlier, is to go all-in on working with him and see what they have."

The other big storyline involves Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, who could be traded this offseason. According to ProFootball Talk's Mike Florio, many around the league believe he will.

"There continues to be a league-wide belief that it will eventually happen," Florio wrote. "Multiple league sources have characterized it to PFT as inevitable."

According to Dianna Russini and Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, both the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams have been interested in Brown, though according to Florio, the Rams have since "tapped out."

Expect the trade chatter surrounding Brown to hover over Week 2 of free agency, even if a deal might not actually transpire until after June 1. Dealing Brown before then would cost Philly $20.1 million in cap space, while trading him after would save $7 million.
