The NFL's salary cap for 2019 has been finalized at $188.2 million per team, up from $177.2 million last year and marking the sixth consecutive year it has grown by at least $10 million.
The final figure is the result of negotiations between the NFL and the NFL Players' Association and is tied mainly to league revenues. It does not include benefits costs, which a source said would come in around $40 million per team this year. That means each team's total allotment for player costs will come in around $228.2 million.
The $40 million per team in benefits includes such things as pension payments to former players, health care costs, 401k payments, injury protection costs and performance-based pay.
