Receiver Calvin Johnson will be Detroit's biggest cap commitment in 2015. Is there enough room for Matthew Stafford and ... Ndamukong Suh?

ALLEN PARK -- Where are the Detroit Lions going to find all that money to re-sign Ndamukong Suh?

The new salary cap will be a good place to start.

CBSSports.com is reporting the NFL informed teams at the owners meetings in Dallas that the new cap projects to fall somewhere between $138.6 million and $141.8 million.

Even the floor of that window would represent a $5.6 million spike. And there's almost no way the actual 2015 salary cap is set at that floor.

For example, this year's cap originally was estimated at $126.3 million. It wound up coming in at $133 million.

So Detroit figures to have at least $6 million extra to play with next season, and possibly more.

The Lions currently have approximately $120 million committed to 37 players for next season. That leaves them with more than $20 million for their final 16 players, though they'll actually have more money than that once they make their usual postseason roster moves.

Receiver Calvin Johnson is the biggest cap hit at $20.6 million, followed by quarterback Matthew Stafford at $17.7 million.

Suh, the best player on Detroit's second-ranked defense, can become a free agent when his rookie contract expires five days after the Super Bowl. Even if he doesn't re-sign, he'll count $9.7 million against the cap due to previous restructures.
