The NFL announced on Tuesday that the 2019 NFL salary cap would rise from $177.2 million in 2018 to between $187 million and $191.1 million. What does the increase mean for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019? The Steelers are under the cap by $28,646,319 according to Over the Cap (This figure already accounted for the cap rising $10 million.). 2019 would mark the sixth consecutive year that the NFL salary cap has risen by at least $10 million. The 2013 salary cap for the NFL was $123 million, therefore the NFL cap has jumped 40% in that span.
The NFL salary cap is expected to rise again heading into next season.
