Contract watch: Players who could become cap casualties

There are a handful of young players set to earn significant raises on their next contracts. We used ProFitX to view what these players should be earning based on their level of play, and evaluate if these players are in a position to earn such a raise with their current team.

However, some of these teams could have financial situations preventing them from being the ones that give their players such raises. Some teams are already set to have expensive teams deep in the luxury tax in the near future which could hinder their ability to add more long-term salary. At the same time, some players have very limited Bird rights with their current teams and could easily get properly paid elsewhere.

Here are several players with upcoming contract situations whose future with their current team could be impacted by salary cap complications.
