You might recall an article I wrote just a short time ago that offered one explanation for why the league’s salary cap came in slightly under what most were projecting. While the majority of prognosticators were working under the assumption this offseason of a $178 million salary cap, the final number came in at $177.2 million.
Obviously still very close, but more often than not, the actual number has been coming in higher than the projected number, and there was a report not too long ago suggesting that it might even be north of $179 million.
