NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- NFL free agency doesn’t officially open until the negotiating period (also known as the legal tampering window) opens at 11 a.m. Central Time on March 13th. But with the official salary cap number now set at $224.8 million, it’s a good time to take a look at the Titans' cap numbers and start to really dig in on what is possible for new GM Ran Carthon in the next couple of months.

Based on that new projected cap number, the Titans are set to be $21,478,634 over the cap when the new league year starts according to OverTheCap.com. Of course, they’ll have to do some maneuvering to get under the cap prior to that point and those moves could start coming relatively soon.
