The NFL’s new league year gets going on March 13th, and at that point, the new salary cap will be in place. On Friday, we learned that it will be $188.2 million, per NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport. The league and NFLPA will formally announce it, likely later next week, but we can more or less take this to the bank.
Back in December, the salary cap was estimated to land between $187 million and $191.1 million. Over The Cap has used $190 million as its placeholder number, and that left the San Francisco 49ers with $69,293,622 in cap space for 2019.
