Yesterday, the league office told general managers across the NFL that they can expect to calculate with those numbers.
In 1994, the NFL first introduced a salary cap to regulate how much money each franchise can spend on the players on its roster. Back then, the cap number was $34.6 million. Over the course of the following years, the cap rose continuously, hitting the $100 million mark in 2006. The cap continued to rise the next years and in 2015, each team had $143.28 million to spend.
It seems as if this rise will continue next year.
