An already daunting task for the ’ next general manager has gotten considerably more difficult, as projections have come out suggesting the cap will be approximately $14,000,000 shy of what OverTheCap had originally projected.
Cap savant Jason Fitzgerald posted this update explaining the recent corrections to the site’s cap projections. To summarize, Jason was under the impression (as many of us here are) that the new TV deal money should have kicked in by now to make up for the COVID-year shortfall, accelerating cap growth to reflect the monstrous revenue increases. His initial projection was for the cap to increase from $224,800,000 to $256,000,000, approximately 14% growth, a considerable jump from the trends we have seen over the last ten years.
