Croston is seeking his $408,000 injury split — the salary that would be paid to him had he spent an entire season on injured reserve — while Parry is seeking his $448,000 injury split.

Per NFL rules, the Patriots must carry 40 percent of each grievance on their salary cap. So it equals an extra cap charge of $179,200 for Parry and $163,200 for Croston. Those amounts usually don’t put a dent in the Patriots’ salary cap, but they are tight on the cap this year, with just $1.66 million in space as of Monday, per NFLPA records.
