NEW YORK (AP) The Jacksonville Jaguars carried over the most salary cap space from last year, $32.7 million, according to figures released Thursday by the players' union.

Under the labor agreement reached in 2012, teams can transfer unused salary cap space from the previous year. The total carry-over amount from 2015 was $203,963,112, making the average carry-over per club $6.4 million, the NFL Players Association said.

The smallest carry-over amount was $11,587 by Seattle.

Once the 2016 salary cap is set in early March, the carry-over amount and other adjustments from the 2015 season will be combined for each team's official salary cap position.

By the end of 2016, the 32 teams must spend an average of 95 percent of the salary cap over the four-year period that began in 2013.
