Team Outlooks
All 32 teams, ranked by next-year cap pressure.A one-, two-, and three-year read on every team's cap situation — where they sit now, when they go over the line, and which contracts force the next decisions. Cap space is OTC's projection against a projected future cap. The outlook window is the current year plus the next two OTC projects. The decision watch-list is ranked by next-year cap hit; per-player cut-savings math is not yet modeled.
