NFL teams were given a projection for an increase in next year's salary cap. The cap will go from $177.2 million to between $187 million and $191.1 million. This will be in line with recent increases in the cap since new TV deals were signed in 2011 and more recently. This number could go higher when the official number is set before the owner's meetings in March.
2018: $177.2 million
2017: $167 million
2016: $155.27 million
2015: $143.28 million
2014: $133 million
2013: $123 million
2012: $120.6 million
The Washington Redskins had a lot more money going into this season than they will next year.
