NFL salary cap projected to rise to $140 million range

 

Club executives attending the league's annual labor seminar on Tuesday were told that the cap for 2015 is projected to rise to $138 million to $141 million, two club executives at the meeting told USA TODAY Sports. The executives did not want their identities revealed because they are not authorized to announce the information.

 
That's a rise of at least $5 million from the current $133 million cap.

Contracts are just gonna go up too.  To take advantage of this, you need to lock players up before the cap goes up.

 

For instance, that contract that everyone likes to make fun of with Drew Brees... well it's really not so bad considering the level of QB he is, and the amount of money any above-average Joe is getting now.  They notched it early, back when it looked excessive and before the cap jumped up, and back before guys like Cutler, Ryan, and Flacco started getting similar deals further driving the market up.

Knowing that the salary cap is rising only makes salary expectations go up. It's not as if the players and agents aren't aware of this.

 

This doesn't make it easier to create new contracts, it makes older contracts more palatable.

I literally just bought All-Pro just to do this.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      I wouldn't be opposed to trading for Sanders and seeing if he could be developed here. We have zero plans, and I really don't think it would take Sanders long to produce more than Bryce has. Plus, he's on a 5th round rookie contract and if he became the guy, you instantly have three years to build a core of talent, much of which we already have.  I get flamed for this opinion but it is what it is, and I've been right about these type of things the past three years.  I said Nix would be a good NFL QB. Wanted to keep Darnold and trade down in 2023. Said QB play wasn't the QB's fault under Rhule, but rather the offensive design.  Give me Sanders in the room for a year with Bryce and Dalton, see what he can develop in to on the cheap. There are no really quality QB's coming out this year that aren't Allar or Manning, and Manning may not even be coming out.

      basically if the panthers trade Thielen they're not trying to win this year. I mean they're not going to regardless but this means its the plan not to.  no team is going into the season in 2025 with 80 career catches between their top 3 healthy WR.  you'd be turning this from a bottom 3rd of the league offense to like the nathan peterman bills pair that with a defense that is most likely going to struggle, and they're looking at 2001 again.
