Salary cap projected to rise to about $133 million this year, expected to break $140 million next year and $150 million by 2016, per source

 

 

Does anyone remember the Chicken Little's on here talking about Flacco's contract? As I predicted when he signed the contract...Flacco won't even be among the top 10 highest paid QBs in two years.

That still doesn't make it a good contract.

It's actually not too terribly far off from the Yankees payroll. Just think about that for second.

Agreed.

It certainly wasn't a bad one.

Wow! Those are big increases. Deserved by the players in my opinion. The NFL is making money hand over fist.

Don't take the projections as set in stone...there are plenty of influences that will affect them each year, which is why they aren't announced until last minute (and sometimes seem to fluctuate so much). The cap is also a major bargaining chip between the union and the league each year.

When the get to 18 games they will really make some huge cash.
