How does a player who is injured affect the cap? If at all. What about when on PUP list. If suspended does that clear cap room? Just curious.

I honestly don't know what happens to the cap when a player is suspended but somehow I doubt it changes anything except for his payday. I'd suppose however the team might get that money back as prorated.
During the off-season, after the new league year starts, only the top 51 contracts count towards the cap. Once the regular season begins, ALL contracts count towards a team's cap (active roster, practice squad, IR, PUP, NFI, etc.). This is to prevent teams from hoarding/stashing players on reserve lists, particularly with 'wink wink' injuries.Year of The Hawk":2mf9dxed said:How does a player who is injured affect the cap?
