Let's take a look at future money that is already tied up. Who has the most and least amount to spend next season. If time allows, we'll take a look at upcoming Free Agents as well. Here is who has the most committed in future seasons. List in order of most future money committed. In the 'Future salary is future owner problems' are Helena Hot Dogs at nearly $240M. Close behind is Houston with nearly $210M. Followed by Chicago and Huntington right around $185M. This season it appears to be more teams in the $80-130M committed range than any of the years prior. I wonder if that's because of the MWR or just how things are shaking out these seasons. Mexico City is the only team who has commitment issues, guaranteeing not a single dime beyond this season. Fargo, New York, and Buffalo combined have less money committed than #5 lowest - Colorado Springs; whose salary we feel are on the rise - it's about to be Loin season again.
The average commitment in the league is $46M next year, down to $28, then $13, then $6M by S65. Most of those rose from previous years, it's gotta be the MWR. Obviously we do this article a little early, so I expect a bit of change as extensions are signed after the regular season.
