What every team could realistically offer a free agent, and the signing mechanism behind
the number. "Current commitments" keeps each team's cap holds
on the books; "Max flexibility" renounces every hold
and waives non-guaranteed salary to show each team's theoretical ceiling.
Cap holds kept, options exercised — the market as it stands today.

Offers shown are each team's maximum first-year salary for an outside free agent under the
selected assumptions. Player and team options are treated as exercised in both modes;
per-team assumption editing arrives in a later release. Figures don't account for a specific
player's maximum salary, which depends on years of service.
