Broncofan Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 As a reference, it was 167M last year. Seems like good news, but in reality as every team gets 10M more - it means nothing in terms of trying to acquire the best players. Cap increases mean the highest paid positions get paid more. But for teams that aren't looking for FA's, but trying to just get to the black, instead of red numbers, it's a temporary reprieve. When they have to compete with FA's, though, cap hell still will be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Here's a cap projection from February of 2016 by the guys at Salary Cap Crunch They came in at $170 M for their guess on 2018 cap number. Cool website with a fair amount of info, but they didn't make it a financial success and haven't updated it recently. But they do go into great detail on the various buckets of cash that make up the NFL salary cap http://salarycapcrunch.com/projecting-nfl-salary-cap-2016-20-seasons/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Rate of growth continues to decline 2015 Cap = $ 143, 280,000.....growth dollars vs previous year... ( growth % vs previous year ) 2016 cap = $ 155, 270,000..... $ 11,990,000..... ( 8.37 %) 2017 cap = $ 167, 000,000..... $ 11,730,000..... (7.55 %) 2018 cap = $ 177, 200,000..... $ 10, 200, 000..... (6.10 %) Smaller increase in actual dollars on an increasingly larger base cap number. So while the total cap $$ continues to increase, the rate of growth has slowed down in recent years.
