PFT: Salary cap ceiling for 2022 set at $208.2 million

Turk · May 26, 2021

A lot of questions will be answered this season. The new TV contracts just like the old ones have ratings parameters. And also stadium attendance will factor in as well.
This is all a guess at this time.

When the cap goes up they should give Dak a well deserved raise

What if 200,000 more people die of that damn disease this summer after most everybody opens up? I am far more inclined to wait and see reality before I accept this as gospel.

That's why it's a ceiling and not a floor.

The NFL salary cap dropped to $182.5 million for the 2021 season as a result of revenue shortfalls related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 season, but it is expected to go back up during the 2022 season.

It will be some time before we learn exactly how much the cap will go up, but we learned on Wednesday what kind of parameters the league will be operating under as it heads toward that declaration.

According to multiple reports, the NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed to set a ceiling of $208.2 million. If the cap were to get that high, it would represent a 14 percent increase over the 2021 season.

It would also represent a new high for the salary cap in NFL history. The 2019 season was played with a cap of $198.2 million, which would mark a jump of about eight percent and a significant reversal of what teams had to deal with this year.

I expect it to really go up in 2023 and 2024.

Hey Army dog, how you doing? Miss that hot chow in the field? Instead of MRE’s?

You must read the Pillars of the Earth series. Seriously.

It's nothing that they don't do every year, it's a projection of the new deals already signed and expected revenue. So nothing new from other years.

BS, this is huge . I guess you obviously have no clue to the cap ramifications and how it applies to the Cowboys.

No it isn’t. The contracts have been signed. The salary cap will be raised so take your negativity somewhere else.

Not even close otherwise they would have cut more than they have. So quit with the BS and show us your proof.

Dak haters: what you got now/?

Looks that would coincide right with Dak going up to 45 million in cap hit or whatever it is. With Jaylon off the books that frees up 13 million. Zeke coming off in another year and then we always have the 22 million in Cooper we could get off the books starting next season.

You forgot Tank. I think this is his last season too.

I believe he has more years left. 2 or 3 I think. Tank we would have to replace so that one is an issue. Losing Zeke and Jaylon and their contracts would actually improve the team.

Cooper is a different argument.

It’s a projection. Your doing the right thing to take it with a grain of salt. If aliens invade Earth next week and enslaves the human race then of course the projection will be wrong.
