NFL Salary Cap will be higher than $132 million

There were reports that the NFL salary cap would be as high as $132 million. Now Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk is citing a source who says it could be even higher than that.

From Pro Football Talk:

"Now that reports have put the salary cap as high as $132 million for 2014, the same source has said, once again, it will be higher.Per the source, the cap could be a “few million” higher than $132 million.  If this means $3 million more than reported, the cap could be as high as $135 million.  That would amount to an 9.75 percent increase over last year, the biggest spike by far since the 2011 labor deal was negotiated.It’s unknown whether the increase in the cap, which is based on revenues but inevitably is negotiated by the NFL and the NFLPA, will result from efforts to borrow against future cap increases."

There are a lot of salary cap strapped teams who will be thrilled to hear that. It shouldn’t affect any teams looking to restructure deals to create cap space, they’ll probably still pursue those options.
