Salary Cap may go up a tad more...

...because the NFL tried to fiddle with the books.

Arbitrator forces NFL to return money

According to Matthew Futterman of the Wall Street Journal, arbitrator Stephen Burbank has found thatowners mischaracterized millions in ticket revenue by creating an improper exemption. The NFL Players Assocation believes that the shortfall exceeds $100 million; this means that more than $50 million will be added to the total, league-wide salary cap.

The NFLPA understandably characterizes the issue as catching the league trying to pull a fast one. The league understandably says it was an accident. The bottom line is that millions will now flow from the league to the players, driving up the salary cap by at least $1.5 million for each of the league’s 32 teams.

Could conceivably be more once all the details come out, but hey, every bit helps.
