Dolphins salary cap 2017: Projecting Miami cap space next season
The 2016 regular season is three weeks from being complete, but the league is already starting to think about the 2017 season. According to USA Today reporter and Sirius XM NFL Radio host Tom Pelissero, teams were told on Tuesday that the 2017 salary cap is projected to be between $166 million and $170 million. That is an increase between $11- and $15-million over this year.
And, as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport points out, the final salary cap each season typically ends up being higher than the initial projection.
The salary cap talk brings us back to the Miami Dolphins, and how they will look heading into the 2017 free agency period. It is probably better than you realize.
