ALAMEDA – The NFL salary cap will take another jump next season. That has been common for several years, as league profits keep increasing. It has gone up at least $10 million for six consecutive seasons, and a 40 percent increase since the 2014 season.
On Tuesday, the NFL announced that the 2019 salary cap will fit within the range of $187 million to $191.1 million.
And, no, this isn’t a story about how the Raiders definitely could’ve afforded both Derek Carr and Khalil Mack while fielding a competitive team.
It can act, however, as a friendly reminder to avoid sticker shock.
