Big news broke Friday, March 1 when Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the 2019 NFL salary cap is established at $188.2-million. That’s a big jump from the 2018 number of $177.2-million, but still lands on the low end of expectations. The NFL notified teams in December that they should plan for the salary cap to end up sitting between $187- and $191-million.
Estimates vary as to how much salary cap space the Saints have to work with. Spotrac lists them with just $9.87-million. Over The Cap puts them in the $12.
