Updated salary cap space for all 32 teams

Before free-agency cash begins to flow, let's examine where all 32 NFL teams stand in terms of cap space.

The official cap for 2018 will be set at $177.2 million, an increase of more than $10 million from 2017.

A flurry of reported big-name trades - including the likes of Alex Smith, Marcus Peters, and Aqib Talib - have dominated the NFL landscape since the end of the season; however, these moves aren't accounted for in cap-space numbers until the official start of the new league year March 14.
