We’re just under a month away from the start of NFL free agency and one of the biggest misses of last season, Marcus Davenport’s contract, will reach a turning point.
On February 19th, Davenport’s 1-year/$13M contract will void (come to an end) and he will become a free agent. February 19th is also one day before franchise tags can be applied by teams around the NFL.
Complicating matters is that, brutally, $6.8M of that $13M was set aside to 2024 as dead cap. The hypothetical dead cap will now shift to realized dead cap after next Monday.
