The Jacksonville Jaguars carried close to $35 million in dead money against the salary cap in 2022. That won’t be the case at all next season, though.
Dead money is a term used to describe salary cap hits for players who are no longer on the roster. For example, $9.9 million of the Jaguars’ salary cap space in 2022 was allocated to linebacker Joe Schobert, who was traded by the team in August 2021 just one year after signing a five-year deal in 2020.
