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.

So if we extend CJ and Cam, we could possibly be $25m-$30m under salary cap.

if only that $3 million was gonna help much.  When you look at the payroll for next year, its scary.

Dude you gotta explain that math.

Dude you gotta explain that math.

 

It's simple.

 

You just divide by zero.

Every little bit helps

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.

Obviously this helps us in extending our players.

 

I am wondering what effect this will have on free agencies. With the addition of rollovers and the rule that teams have to spend money, it seems all NFL teams will be spending more money. Will this hurt us as a small market team?

 

I have no idea.

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.

 

I hope you're happy.
