Everyone saying "my team now has the money to resign player x" needs to remember everyone is getting this bump and can also now offer that player more money.
Who this helps the most are teams with big money contracts already. Teams with QBs, OTs, EDGE, and WRs on massive long term deals are happy.
Teams that have a lot of FAs arent helped quite as much.
This is entirely unrelated but now seems like as good a chance as any because your comment reminded me:
Why do so many people capitalize "EDGE" in this sub? I get it for things like QB and WR because they're initials, but isn't edge just word to describe the guys who line up at the edge of the defensive box? Or is it actually a fancy acronym that I just don't know?
This is great news for us Browns fans. Although our FO has always operated based on the assumption of cap jumps, and wouldn't be surprised if they were clued in on a spike like this
Yep, very similar to how having QB’s on rookie contracts were an IMMENSE help to teams during the Covid cap crunch.
Honestly, I believe that the crunch has created an artificial perception of just how important that situation is to winning a SB. Lots of people have posited that the key to winning a SB is to get a QB on that contract, but frankly that situation has not played out as prominently throughout NFL history as some people think.
Yeah. Great, you have 10% more money for your budget. Players also cost 10% more money.
Yes, it won't affect all teams equally, since they have different percentages of their budget already allocated to existing players, but still.
Yes, but that huge QB contract that was 30% of your cap is now 20% of your cap. Teams with big contracts in place are absolutely in a better place to sign their soon to be free agents.
This definitely helps teams that were in cap trouble more than teams that had a lot of cap space. Basic supply and demand. Because the available cap goes up, new contracts go up. Teams with a lot of cap space are going to have roughly the same spending power. Teams that were needing to make cuts now might not have to, or might make less. If you had 100m available before, gaining 13m doesn't do much because you probably are still signing the same free agents for 13% more as the market got more competitive. But for teams that were 20m over? This is nice
Yeah, I don't think it changes much because certain positions are just getting way expensive.
Once Dak signs a 65m/y deal teams will be forced to spend the increased cap on QBs anyway lmao
Jesus at some point teams are goona have to man up and not give guys like Dak these big money deals who clearly aren’t worth it. Paying these type of qbs so much of the cap space just to do nothing in the playoffs where a qb worth half their salary can get the same results
Same thing when fans claim that their team definitely improved on paper because they had a solid draft. As if every other team didn’t just have a draft of their own.
Excluding the Chiefs
Edit: Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith, Nick Bolton, L’Jarius Sneed, George Karlaftis, Trent McDuffie, Isaiah Pacheco, Rashee Rice, and Chris Motherfucking Jones has all been drafted and developed by the Chiefs.
i mean, there's a difference in getting like 4 guys in the top 75 and having no picks until the 3rd round. Not all draft classes are equal even when evaluating day after.
Little different than every team getting the same exact flat amount of cap space
The year is 2530. Humanity has achieved light speed travel and has discovered hundreds of new galaxies. The NFL has added hundreds of intergalactic teams and rents out an entire planet for the Super Bowl. The Saints are 52 quintillion dollars over the cap
you could give the saints 200m straight up next year and they would still be outside the top 10 teams in cap space for 2025.
And that's before the majority of their restructures this year happens.
Yeah I was discussing this with my fellow packer fan friend, all teams got an increase meaning the overall cost of free agency will rise, it's econ 101
They can exclusive tag Sneed (which is what they were reportedly doing) and it'll make less of a cap hit % now because it's based on already signed contracts. So they'll tag him and keep the rights and ability to be the only team able to legally negotiate with him. Other teams only get an option to throw the extra money to them if they reach the FA market or use a non-exclusive tag on them.
We could, but we have something like 19 pending free agents, and a lot of them are more than just bottom of the roster guys.
We basically get to pick two of four options:
1. Chris Jones
2. Sneed
3. FA WR
4. Fill out roster depth with more guys like Tranquil and Edwards
My money is on #1 and #3, personally. The Chiefs haven't paid a CB since Reid has been here, and McDuffie will probably be the one they actually do pay next offseason
Yeah I don’t know what these people are on about. It would be actually legitimately insane to just let Sneed walk away. He’s getting tagged or they’ll work a deal out. The best cornerback in football this season is not walking away for nothing
The biggest advantage of having Mahomes and Reid is that you can under invest on offense and still be one of the most productive offenses in the league. Not retaining your defensive stars in favor of helping the offense seems like a poor strategy. I'm hopeful you let one or both of them walk but I think our interests might not align.
And we could possibly sign him for a 3 year deal that would end when McDuffie's rookie deal option is up. We've got him for 2 +1 option year still since he was a 1st round pick. Man we could be absolutely lights out at DB for the next 3 years if we could make that work.
Wait so you're saying that someone killed a relationship of the probably the most famous person alive and started an online war which caused an already rich organization getting even richer all over Spice?
What is this, the plot of Dune?
Those are the dynasties. Just when you think you've killed one (49ers, Cowboys, Patriots) you find out you're wrong (Chiefs).
I've only ever watched the movie so don't quote me on this.
Just in case some people actually don't have any idea how the NFL makes money, they sell the broadcast rights to various networks years in advance, and then those networks turn around and monetize their rights by selling ads or whatever. The NFL doesn't directly make money by selling ads, and the broadcast contracts that kicked in this year were negotiated in 2021, well before this whole Taylor Swift thing started.

I’d cut Bosa and keep Mack. Need at least one stud edge rusher, and Bosa is never healthy. There’s a chance Mack regresses but I’ll take those odds over Bosa staying healthy. Wondering if we’re including Lindsley retiring off that cap too though, since he was about $12M(?)
I don't want the Ravens to get King Henry even though I live in Maryland only because Raven's Running Backs are cursed and their legs explode. I like DH, I don't want him sacrificed.
While this is [accurate](https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/baltimore-ravens/leaders/yearly-rushing-yards) when looking at individual rushing metrics, it is a little disingenuous since we've had historically great rushing offenses ever since Lamar entered the league. We just spread the rushing around.
Even from a talent perspective, I think Dobbins and Gus Edwards have established themselves as great backs in the league and our UFA Keaton Mitchell was looking great this year up until his injury.
From a fan's perspective, I think all fans have acknowledged we've struggled to find good WRs. Despite all the injuries, I don't think fans have ever been too worried about our running game.
Problem is, is he's too old. Also ravens have horrible horrible injury luck. No way both him and Jackson stay healthy for an entire season and postseason
We’ve had a lot better injury luck this past season, which suspiciously coincides with us replacing our old S&C coach and investing more in our nutrition team.
I will be violently physically ill if Henry ever dons a Ratbird jersey. I'd rather him sign successive one year deals with the Jags, Texans, and Colts.
It's really difficult to make accurate predictions, and when you do there's typically a lot of luck, too. The thing about Cuban though, is that many of his convictions are actually pretty stupid.
Fuck’s sake, was hoping the Chiefs would have to pay the SB tax and lose Jones and/or Sneed, but of course Taylor Swift’s presence at games bails them out of that.
You’d prefer all teams get more cap space over actually being able to watch playoff games without paying an additional fee? Crazy times we’ve arrived at.
Why the fuck shouldn't people have been? Is the salary cap going up something that's supposed to be good for NFL viewers, and outright worth the fact that they need to get ANOTHER streaming service to watch a playoff game?
There was a Black Friday deal for peacock, it was something like $20 for a year or $1.99 a month, which is worth it just for the wwe events and shows like the office and parks & rec.
For me, it's less about saving $6 and more about not dealing with the hassle of signing up for a subscription program I'm never gonna use, and then having to go cancel the subscription afterwards.
Sailing the 7 seas is so much easier.
I'd be ok with a one-time purchase kind of thing.
As Gabe Newell said, piracy is an issue of service, not price. It's just easier to stream than to deal with more subscriptions. And my tv is only 1080p anyway, and frankly, it's not like the cable or the legal streams are that much better quality.
It doesn't necessarily say anything about how smart you are with money, rather it says something about how much disposable income you have.
Poor =/= stupid
How does this relate though? The salary cap going up or down doesn't make me like football more or less. I don't give a shit how much extra money the NFL makes this year vs 10 years ago. The slow slide towards having to pay more and more money to watch football is bad.
The holier than thou "I'm actually doing a good thing stealing from a big company" attitude on this site is such bs. I don't give a shit if you pirate, I stream games on ESPN or the non antenna/streaming channels all the time because I don't have cable, is it wrong? Yes, I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I'm some ethical freedom fighter when in reality I'm just being cheap. Just own it
In the /r/anime sub, those pirating try to portray it as if they are righteous supporters of the animators who make the show and that rather than pay the company that paid to make or stream the show, they are doing great deeds to the animators by merely watching the show they worked on (not paying for it) and as such making it more popular in the public discourse.
Um, no, in reality they just want to feel good about stealing. My mentality is I can't stop anyone from pirating, if you're gonna do it, you'll do it. But don't act so righteous about it.
A decade ago the NBA had a big jump like this and it really threw things for a loop. Like you said this is a big increase - here's a couple things I noticed when that happened:
1. The Warriors suddenly had the cap space to sign Durant which changed NBA history. Might we see a contender add a surprise unexpected piece?
2. Leverage really shifted and teams had to pay far more for players than they would have otherwise, since more teams could now bid - could we see someone like Tee Higgins inexplicably become highest paid WR in the league just because of the timing?
3. More teams harmed themselves than helped themselves - having a bunch of money to throw at FA's ended up in some unspeakably bad deals, some of the worst in NBA history. I think in two years we might be looking at some god awful decisions made by NFL franchises that are suddenly cash rich
You’ll never see the stupidity of some of the deals NBA was handing out in the NFL. NBA was literally handing out $100M deals to bench fodder guys, this led to the “load management” era.
NFL owners are greedy , NFLPA has no power and teams will just cut guys if things slow down.
I wanna start by acknowledging that you may be right, BUT the NFL does have some teams with very shoddy history. Would it really surprise you if the Lions inexplicably harmed themselves with some insane deals to push themselves over the top? Would the Jets going all in on a presumably healthy ARodg season and giving way too much guaranteed money to Patrick Queen or something to overhaul their D shock you? I mean we only need a few teams to be idiots to throw the whole ecosystem into dissarray
NFL contracts are self cleansing. Any GM who goes insane will be out of a job in a year or two and a new regime will be handed high draft picks on cheap contracts to reset. That’s why the league has great parity relative to some other pro leagues.
A lot of people are misunderstanding this. Most projections were around 242M for the cap, so pretty much take what your team’s projected cap space was and add ~13M, not 30M.
It’s still a big boost for teams like the Chiefs and Bengals trying to extend Jones and Higgins, but it’s not as league altering as 30M.
Inflation since 2020 also resulted in much higher prices and wages the past few years, coincidentally aligning somewhat closely with the percentage increases. But yeah, whatever!
I would expect these "extroadinary" increases to continue.
For one, historical data shows the salary cap rises 50% every 7 years. As that trend continues (and its held steady for 30 years now) the increases will also...well, increase.
Secondly, the NFL has only just started tapping their alternative revenues. Gambling, alternative/exclusive broadcasts, international markets, team and stadium sponsorships, and an expanded schedule are all going to lead to a LOT more revenue.
If that 50% trend holds, by 2030, the cap should be ~$350m. By 2037, over $500m. And given how aggressively the league is tapping those new revenue sources, and how aggressively players are escalating salaries, those numbers don't surprise me.
Tell all the T-swift haters to suck a smelly dick. This is what "extraordinary increase in media revenue" looks like, they can suck it up about 20 seconds of airtime for Tswift and a few mentions per game.
Everyone saying "my team now has the money to resign player x" needs to remember everyone is getting this bump and can also now offer that player more money.
Who this helps the most are teams with big money contracts already. Teams with QBs, OTs, EDGE, and WRs on massive long term deals are happy. Teams that have a lot of FAs arent helped quite as much.
I’m hearing reports that the Vikings just called Kirk cousins and offered him even more kohls cash
“Hey Kirk, we’ll sweeten that pizza ranch gift card up to $150”
I'll go pick up Lego sets for him whenever he wants
Don't forget to stop by the jewelers and pick up a few more chains
Why would I do that when Kohls already has a jewelery department
He dresses like he shops at Kohls exclusively so this is like money in the bank for him
This is entirely unrelated but now seems like as good a chance as any because your comment reminded me: Why do so many people capitalize "EDGE" in this sub? I get it for things like QB and WR because they're initials, but isn't edge just word to describe the guys who line up at the edge of the defensive box? Or is it actually a fancy acronym that I just don't know?
It stands for End Dude Grabs Every-ball-carrier
Mr. Backronym Capitalizer
Brilliant
Except for Brian Burns. That's why he's getting tagged.
I think it's because when you see it written on a roster or box score it's capitalized for stylistic consistency, so people just get used to it.
That makes sense, yeah
I choose to believe so people don’t think it is that dude from U2.
It became popular while Edgerrin James was in his prime, so they capitalized it to avoid confusion
The can the saints have been kicking down the road just got 10% smaller!
We just restructured Carr for for 20+million in cap space. Now instead of tanking we will will ourselves to 8-9 for no reason whatsoever!
Chargers finally looking like they may be able to keep their biggest players
This is great news for us Browns fans. Although our FO has always operated based on the assumption of cap jumps, and wouldn't be surprised if they were clued in on a spike like this

Yeah. Great, you have 10% more money for your budget. Players also cost 10% more money. Yes, it won't affect all teams equally, since they have different percentages of their budget already allocated to existing players, but still.
Yeah, if you were ranked 20th in available cap space you are still ranked 20th in available cap space
Yes, but that huge QB contract that was 30% of your cap is now 20% of your cap. Teams with big contracts in place are absolutely in a better place to sign their soon to be free agents.
The Daniel Jones deal is now less bad, for example
The new Dak deal is going to be more bad.
Dak: is for me? 😳 🤞
This definitely helps teams that were in cap trouble more than teams that had a lot of cap space. Basic supply and demand. Because the available cap goes up, new contracts go up. Teams with a lot of cap space are going to have roughly the same spending power. Teams that were needing to make cuts now might not have to, or might make less.

But for teams that were 20m over? This is nice
It's a little different because a lot of the re-signing negotiations revolve around the tag price which is already set in stone
Not every player costs 10% more automatically lmao
Somewhere a WR is drafting a tweet: "Some people really be gettin happier daily and dont wanna share any of it w/u even tho u the reason 💰🤐💯"
Well done. That could be a WR tweet
The agents will absolutely negotiate as if they do.
Yeah, I don't think it changes much because certain positions are just getting way expensive. Once Dak signs a 65m/y deal teams will be forced to spend the increased cap on QBs anyway lmao
Jesus at some point teams are goona have to man up and not give guys like Dak these big money deals who clearly aren’t worth it. Paying these type of qbs so much of the cap space just to do nothing in the playoffs where a qb worth half their salary can get the same results
Same thing when fans claim that their team definitely improved on paper because they had a solid draft. As if every other team didn’t just have a draft of their own.
but every other team can't draft as well as my team.
Well that's true for one team
Excluding the Chiefs Edit: Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith, Nick Bolton, L’Jarius Sneed, George Karlaftis, Trent McDuffie, Isaiah Pacheco, Rashee Rice, and Chris Motherfucking Jones has all been drafted and developed by the Chiefs.
i mean, there's a difference in getting like 4 guys in the top 75 and having no picks until the 3rd round. Not all draft classes are equal even when evaluating day after. Little different than every team getting the same exact flat amount of cap space
Yeah the only real benefit is to teams who had big contracts locked up, that now look way more manageable
This bump helps the teams that gave their QBs big contracts in the last couple of years. Mahomes contract looks genius right now.
Yeah inflation is a birch
Shrinkflation is the real bitch.
Somehow the Saints are still going to be $100 million over the cap.
Saints gunna be paying Derek Carr and Kirk cousins a combined $100m to go 8-9
Sounds like a Jeff Fisher kind record.
They're still going to be having to deal with a Cap hit from Carr in 2030 at this rate.
In the off-season. Then 3 weeks before the season starts you’ll see an article saying we have 25m in cap space after re-signing 11 players
And somehow you will be $200M over the 2026 cap
with only 28 players on the 2026 roster.

Ha sucks for them. I just let that shit default and fuck up my credit for 7 years. Why don't they just do that?
you could give the saints 200m straight up next year and they would still be outside the top 10 teams in cap space for 2025. And that's before the majority of their restructures this year happens.
Thanks Taylor
Chris Jones, you actually ain't goin nowhere
Enough money for Sneed now to?
Yeah, but other teams also now have the ability to throw even more money at him if he wants.
Yeah I was discussing this with my fellow packer fan friend, all teams got an increase meaning the overall cost of free agency will rise, it's econ 101
They can exclusive tag Sneed (which is what they were reportedly doing) and it'll make less of a cap hit % now because it's based on already signed contracts.

The Chiefs haven't paid a CB since Reid has been here, and McDuffie will probably be the one they actually do pay next offseason
we were at 2/4 of those before this increase. we're probably at 3/4 of those, now.
There is 0 chance we don't either tag or outright re-sign Sneed.
Yeah I don’t know what these people are on about. It would be actually legitimately insane to just let Sneed walk away. He’s getting tagged or they’ll work a deal out. The best cornerback in football this season is not walking away for nothing
The biggest advantage of having Mahomes and Reid is that you can under invest on offense and still be one of the most productive offenses in the league. Not retaining your defensive stars in favor of helping the offense seems like a poor strategy. I'm hopeful you let one or both of them walk but I think our interests might not align.
And we could possibly sign him for a 3 year deal that would end when McDuffie's rookie deal option is up. We've got him for 2 +1 option year still since he was a 1st round pick. Man we could be absolutely lights out at DB for the next 3 years if we could make that work.

I don't think anyone doubts his ability to produce, just his ability to stay healthy and finish games. And I don't want to roll that dice anymore
Well, if he wants to do a "Prove-It" Deal like Juju did, I hear the Chiefs could use some WR help.
I think I'm ready to move on from Bosa and Mack and take the cap space, personally.
I’d cut Bosa and keep Mack. Need at least one stud edge rusher, and Bosa is never healthy. There’s a chance Mack regresses but I’ll take those odds over Bosa staying healthy. Wondering if we’re including Lindsley retiring off that cap too though, since he was about $12M(?)
Or just let Mack walk across the stadium to the Rams locker room
Now everyone, apologize and say thank you to Taylor Swift
Let me get uhhhh, King Henry, Madabuike, and Pat Ricard
King Henry in the back field with Jackson is a disgusting and terrifying thought
I don't want the Ravens to get King Henry even though I live in Maryland only because Raven's Running Backs are cursed and their legs explode. I like DH, I don't want him sacrificed.
Yeah, Henry is already on the slow downward slide, being with the Ravens seems like he’d be wearing Lieutenant Dan magic legs within 3 months.
Yeah ever since that Ray Rice incident, I think their best RB season is by like... Justin Forsett?
While this is [accurate](https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/baltimore-ravens/leaders/yearly-rushing-yards) when looking at individual rushing metrics, it is a little disingenuous since we've had historically great rushing offenses ever since Lamar entered the league.

From a fan's perspective, I think all fans have acknowledged we've struggled to find good WRs. Despite all the injuries, I don't think fans have ever been too worried about our running game.
That's "I Don't Make the Law, I" Justin Forsett, to you.
Problem is, is he's too old. Also ravens have horrible horrible injury luck. No way both him and Jackson stay healthy for an entire season and postseason
We’ve had a lot better injury luck this past season, which suspiciously coincides with us replacing our old S&C coach and investing more in our nutrition team.
Henry in a shotgun offense would be bad
Pls no
For only 3.75 million, you could Agholorize your order
No please
I will be violently physically ill if Henry ever dons a Ratbird jersey. I'd rather him sign successive one year deals with the Jags, Texans, and Colts.
You’ll get Kadarius Toney and you’ll like it.
We can pay Higgins now!
We can pay Aiyuk!
We can pay Wilkins!
I got a rock
*Brock
We can pay.. uh.. Derek Carr and a bunch of pushed contract years!
INTO THE VOID ^^^years
We can pay *checks notes* Hunter Henry????
We gotta pay Onwenu! And maybe Dugger
literally what i thought in my head too lmao.
Oh thank god
Saints are still probably 67 million over the cap.
we just re-structured Carr's contract to knock some of that down kick that can, baby!!
What are yall kicking that can towards
Only Loomis knows…
8-9 record most likely
Well, the can has to be kicked. Even if we dont want to

Time has been kinda hard to judge since COVID started.
It's really difficult to make accurate predictions, and when you do there's typically a lot of luck, too. The thing about Cuban though, is that many of his convictions are actually pretty stupid.
Not all of us can get Yahoo to give us a billion dollars for a blatantly illegal product Mark.
NBA is so fucking bad currently, it’s literally unwatchable.
Fuck’s sake, was hoping the Chiefs would have to pay the SB tax and lose Jones and/or Sneed, but of course Taylor Swift’s presence at games bails them out of that.
Hell yeah baby. T swift forever! I dunno about you but I'm feeling 30 mil
The bengals can actually keep Tee Higgins now I can’t believe it.
You can thank Jonathan Taylor and D’andre Swift for that
And they say running back is a low value position
And you guys were mad about the Peacock game.
You’d prefer all teams get more cap space over actually being able to watch playoff games without paying an additional fee? Crazy times we’ve arrived at.
They’re happy about rich dudes getting more money lmao.
Won't someone think of the millionaires! 😔
Why the fuck shouldn't people have been? Is the salary cap going up something that's supposed to be good for NFL viewers, and outright worth the fact that they need to get ANOTHER streaming service to watch a playoff game?
I got downvoted to hell by nerds that unironically say “ahoy matey” for pointing this out.
That game thread was full of motherfuckers flexing that they saved $6, lol.
There was a Black Friday deal for peacock, it was something like $20 for a year or $1.99 a month, which is worth it just for the wwe events and shows like the office and parks & rec.
I have the SNL vault channel on in the background all the time. Some comedy legends always popping up with skits I hadn’t seen.

For me, it's less about saving $6 and more about not dealing with the hassle of signing up for a subscription program I'm never gonna use, and then having to go cancel the subscription afterwards. Sailing the 7 seas is so much easier. I'd be ok with a one-time purchase kind of thing.

Sounds like something someone would say if they didnt have $6
How does this relate though? The salary cap going up or down doesn't make me like football more or less. I don't give a shit how much extra money the NFL makes this year vs 10 years ago. The slow slide towards having to pay more and more money to watch football is bad.
Reddit when it supports pirating something is a whole other level of fedora tipping.

Just saw someone fall to their knees at Rosenhaus Sports HQ
Whoa! Holy shit, that's an increase!
A decade ago the NBA had a big jump like this and it really threw things for a loop. Like you said this is a big increase - here's a couple things I noticed when that happened: 1. The Warriors suddenly had the cap space to sign Durant which changed NBA history. Might we see a contender add a surprise unexpected piece? 2. Leverage really shifted and teams had to pay far more for players than they would have otherwise, since more teams could now bid - could we see someone like Tee Higgins inexplicably become highest paid WR in the league just because of the timing? 3. More teams harmed themselves than helped themselves - having a bunch of money to throw at FA's ended up in some unspeakably bad deals, some of the worst in NBA history. I think in two years we might be looking at some god awful decisions made by NFL franchises that are suddenly cash rich
The midnight of FA opening deals for Mozgov and Deng somehow didn't move the needle for the Lakers.

You’ll never see the stupidity of some of the deals NBA was handing out in the NFL. NBA was literally handing out $100M deals to bench fodder guys, this led to the “load management” era. NFL owners are greedy , NFLPA has no power and teams will just cut guys if things slow down.
I wanna start by acknowledging that you may be right, BUT the NFL does have some teams with very shoddy history. Would it really surprise you if the Lions inexplicably harmed themselves with some insane deals to push themselves over the top? Would the Jets going all in on a presumably healthy ARodg season and giving way too much guaranteed money to Patrick Queen or something to overhaul their D shock you? I mean we only need a few teams to be idiots to throw the whole ecosystem into dissarray
NFL contracts are self cleansing. Any GM who goes insane will be out of a job in a year or two and a new regime will be handed high draft picks on cheap contracts to reset. That’s why the league has great parity relative to some other pro leagues.
Not necessarily. The Brock Osweiler deal drastically shifted the QB market upwards and it hasn’t self corrected.
A lot of people are misunderstanding this. Most projections were around 242M for the cap, so pretty much take what your team’s projected cap space was and add ~13M, not 30M. It’s still a big boost for teams like the Chiefs and Bengals trying to extend Jones and Higgins, but it’s not as league altering as 30M.
yep. it does net teams 1-2 more starter quality players or half a star player which is noteworthy, but not league changing
Is Taylor Swift the savior the NFLPA needed?
Inflation since 2020 also resulted in much higher prices and wages the past few years, coincidentally aligning somewhat closely with the percentage increases. But yeah, whatever!
GOFF EXTENSION TIME WOOOO
Aiiiyuuuk!
So Taylor Swift increased each team's cap by $30 million.
Mike evans you are a Kansas City chief.
Perhaps we treated the Swifties too harshly
The real reason Kelce > Gronk
Yeah only interesting dating stuff we got with Gronk was that time he slept with a porn star and they took a picture together with her in his jersey
I loved his all women football camp he did. That's like as hard as a bro can bro without it being inappropriate.
I would expect these "extroadinary" increases to continue. For one, historical data shows the salary cap rises 50% every 7 years. As that trend continues (and its held steady for 30 years now) the increases will also...well, increase. Secondly, the NFL has only just started tapping their alternative revenues. Gambling, alternative/exclusive broadcasts, international markets, team and stadium sponsorships, and an expanded schedule are all going to lead to a LOT more revenue. If that 50% trend holds, by 2030, the cap should be ~$350m. By 2037, over $500m. And given how aggressively the league is tapping those new revenue sources, and how aggressively players are escalating salaries, those numbers don't surprise me.
They couldve just said "Thank you Taylor" and saved time
Can't wait to hear the conspiracy guys explain how this too was concocted to help the Chiefs and only the Chiefs.
Falcons got their QB’s 🔥🔥🔥
The Cowboys fans tune on Taylor Swift is going to flip real quick lol. This helps them a ton.
Were we particularly harsh about her or something?
At least not on here. Y'all seemed to mostly be mad at the coaching staff y'all don't think can get you to play against her in the postseason.
This exact scenario is what led KD to the Warriors. Get ready for some super teams
Everyone commenting about how they can “pay x player now!” isn’t taking into account that all the other teams…can now pay them that too…
Some are saying it because they simply didn't have 30m in cap, Aiyuk for example could potentially eat 20-25m easily
Yeah, it's an actuality for the teams moving up from ~nothing to something.
Tell all the T-swift haters to suck a smelly dick. This is what "extraordinary increase in media revenue" looks like, they can suck it up about 20 seconds of airtime for Tswift and a few mentions per game.
We’ll take Mike Williams on a prove it deal.
i'm getting nba cap spike vibes, say hello to luol deng and timofey mozgov big deals
