How much are the Falcons paying in dead cap this season?

The Atlanta Falcons have done a great job working their way out of an atrocious salary cap situation over the last few offseasons. General manager Terry Fontenot purged the roster for two straight years before it paid off with over $60 million of cap space in 2023.

While the Falcons are still paying over $18 million in dead money this season, it’s not nearly as bad as it was in 2022 when the team paid over $60 million in dead cap following the Matt Ryan trade.

Using Over The Cap‘s projections, here’s a look at the Falcons’ current dead money totals for 2023.
