Vikings' 2024 Salary Cap Situation Detailed
Current Cap Space and Dead Money
The Minnesota Vikings currently have $26,264,191 in salary cap space available for the 2024 season. This amount includes dead cap figures, which represent the remaining guaranteed money on contracts of players who are no longer on the roster.
Player Cap Hits and Bonuses
The Vikings' 2024 salary cap table includes a complete breakdown of player cap hits, salaries, and bonuses. Some notable players and their cap hits for the upcoming season include: * Danielle Hunter: $24,900,000 * Kirk Cousins: $36,000,000 * Za'Darius Smith: $16,500,000
Cap Implications of Quarterback Situation
The Vikings' quarterback situation will have a significant impact on their salary cap space in 2024. If Kirk Cousins is still on the roster, his cap hit will be $36 million. However, if the Vikings trade or release Cousins, they would save $20 million in cap space. This situation is further complicated by the fact that the Vikings recently acquired Nick Mullens, who is currently under contract for $2.5 million in 2024. If the Vikings keep both Cousins and Mullens, they could potentially have over $40 million tied up in the quarterback position.
