IRVING, Texas — NFL teams were told by the league Tuesday that the salary cap is projected to increase to an estimated $187 million to $191.1 million per club for the 2019 season.
That would represent a jump of about $10 million or more from this season’s figure of $177.2 million per team. The increase should ensure that most teams will have considerable flexibility to make player-related moves during the upcoming offseason.
The estimates were distributed by the league as general managers and team presidents participated in meetings Tuesday at a Dallas-area hotel. Owners are scheduled to meet Wednesday.
