The NFL’s official salary cap number for the 2019 season will not be set until early March, but an early projection sent out from the league to its 32 clubs shows that they can expect another big increase. According to the memo, next year’s cap is projected to grow to somewhere between $187.0 million and $191.1 million — however, a larger number than that would also not be a surprise considering how those projections worked in the past.
For the New England Patriots this means that they will have some wiggle room but as things stand right now still come relatively close to the cap for the second straight year.
