This is also when the “top 51” rule comes into effect - teams 51 highest player cap hits have to be under that years salary cap. Of course -you have to announce the official cap before teams can get under it so the day before or maybe even day of AM is effectively the hard deadline for NFL to choose and announce the new cap number.
