8 Teams Facing Cap Crunch in '26-27

These overages hit harder now with the flat cap squeezing every roster spot, forcing some creative LTIR maneuvers or tough cuts before training camp. Front offices are already gaming out buyouts and trades to dodge the penalties, and the league's watching closely to keep the books clean.
