NFL projecting big jump in salary cap for 2017
The NFL informed teams at the league meetings Tuesday that the per-team salary cap for 2017 is projected to be between $166 million and $170 million, a person with knowledge of the presentation told Tom Pelissero of USA Today.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to disclose the numbers, which would represent another record high and another eight-figure jump from the $155.27 million cap this year. And the league's projections often have been a little low in the past.
The final cap is usually set just before free agency begins in March.
