Answer: Tom Brady's 2017 cap is $14 million. The $14 million cap hit ties Mike Glennon's for the 19th highest for a quarterback this year. Brady's $22 million cap number in 2018 is currently tied with Philip Rivers' for the eighth-highest. Brady's $22 million cap number in 2019 is currently the 10th highest.

Answer: My guess is that one of the six will be extended. Used to think that it would be Brandon King. Now, I think that it will be Johnson Bademosi. In descending order of likelihood to be extended during this regular season:


  1. Bademosi

  2. King

  3. Nate Ebner

  4. Marquis Flowers

  5. Matthew Slater

  6. Brandon Bolden


(Bolden is last because his Minimum Salary Benefit deal can't be extended.)

Please note that since this estimate will change frequently between today and March 14, 2018 — the first day of the new league year -- so I'll answer this question on a regular basis:


League cap

Prior year carryover

Adjustment

Patriots adjusted cap

2018 cap commitment
(After tendering Ted Karras as an ERFA and signing 10 practice squad players to future contracts, the Patriots should have 58 players signed or tendered for the 2018 season.)

2018 CAP SPACE: $11,300,000
