That's 8,355,000.
In the off season, the NFL only counts the top 51 contracts against the cap for some reason...most likely to give teams a bit more room to maneuver. That is the "Top 51" number.

The "Total Cap" numbet is the cap hit for every player under contract. Just before camp, it should be for all 90 players. It is a useless number, IMO. I have no idea why Spotrac reports it.
