NFL salary cap is $177 million. So they have a lot of money left over for things such as travel, medical , etc. and they still make a good profit just from the TV cash.
so far only the Rangers fired their coach right? That's a low number but maybe teams that lose in round 1 might ax their coach.
Teams are waiting for Bill Peters to become available before sacking their current head coach.

Hornets hired a new GM this week, Mitch Kupchak, and he axed the coach today. The coach made playoffs 2 times in 5 years . ('13 and '16) Lost in 1st round both years. I assume when the GM was hired he was told he could find a new coach.
I mean yeah. You don't hire the former long term GM of the Lakers and tell him he's stuck with a coach. That said ... Clifford isn't and wasn't the problem in Charlotte. The poor guy has never had a roster you could win with in that league. At least Jordan finally woke up and hired a proper, experienced GM.
Think that's where we're headed here? A guy with more than a decade of GM experience under his belt?
Jordan is the perfect example of hands on ownership....gone wrong. Just because he is the greatest player ever, or at least one of them, doesn't mean he is any better at making personnel decisions than a random guy off the street....just google Kwame Brown or look at his history as GM/Owner. It is bad.
Hands on ownership can go pretty well (Mark Cuban, Mario Lemieux) or can fall apart (James Dolan, John Spano, Jerry Jones) and having experience in the sport usually isn't a huge factor as it becomes more about management style and understanding your limits. The biggest question mark with Dundon is does he understand his limits? Could go either way at this point and this summer will be very telling.
Jerry Jones was a fantastic owner until something resembling senility set in, around the time that he made Wade Phillips head coach, who will always be my favorite because he could be counted on doing just enough to keep his job without winning anything significant.
Ilya Kovalchuk turned 35 today and is off the retired list and an unrestricted free agent. He was a point per game player in thr NHL and has been for the last 5 years in Russia. Do you think anyone will sign him?
Semin was pretty good for 1 year here, but then after that , not so much. (as Borat says)
