Titans, Colts Climb Above $33 Million in Cap Space as 2026 NFL Trade Deadline Reshapes Rosters

3 articles · Updated · Bleacher Report · Nov 11

Summary

  • $41.3 million for Tennessee and $33.3 million for Indianapolis left both clubs near the top of the NFL's updated 2026 cap-space table after deadline selling, while Jacksonville fell to $2.1 million after adding Jordan Davis, Davon Godchaux and Jessie Bates III.
  • Indianapolis kept Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor but moved Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, Keenan Allen and Josh Downs; Tennessee had already dealt Jeffery Simmons and then traded Amani Hooker on Tuesday.
  • Minnesota's trade for Kirk Cousins stood as Tuesday's biggest move, with Las Vegas handing its starting quarterback to the Vikings and turning to rookie No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.
  • Jacksonville's spending also reaches beyond this season: Davis is signed through 2029, though his 2027 cap hit is only $4.8 million under the current structure.
  • With the 4 p.m. ET deadline passed, released players now must clear waivers, and the post-deadline cap picture shows which teams still have room to add for the stretch run.
