Like clockwork, the tide of the NFL’s salary cap is set to rise again — this time to a reported $187-191.1 million in 2019.
In accordance with the popular aphorism, it’s supposed to “lift all boats” — an analogy that comes up short with regard to today’s NFL, as all but a select few “boats” remain tied firmly to their contractual “docks” each year. But, this coming March, as that annual salary cap tide rolls in, NFL super agent Neil Cornich — the man who represents Patriots star edge defender Trey Flowers — will be pulling into the free agency marina armed with a sturdy pair of rope-cutting shears.
