2014 salary cap

Post by dead_poet »

Sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter that the NFL is projected to raise its 2014 salary cap to $130 million.

Many observers thought the cap would be around $126 million. Instead, it's a massive five percent increase off last year's $123 million and gives teams a little more breathing room. According to Overthecap.com, the five teams with the least amount of cap space right now are the Cowboys, Steelers, Seahawks, Chargers and Rams. The Raiders, Jaguars, Browns, Colts and Dolphins have the most space.

Wasn't there another article that said the Vikings were top 5? I recall you posting a link that they were around #8 or so, odd that they can't get this right.

Vikings were #6. Some moves have been made in recent weeks that have affected this with people getting cut/restructuring etc.

Based on what he has heard, Spielman said he expects the cap to fall under $130M. "It's not going to be a significant increase."
