The Real Salary Increases Free Agents Should Look For - Over the Cap
With the rumored jump in the salary cap from $143 to $155 million, teams will have significantly more to spend on players, about $384 million league wide. Considering that we are in a period where the cap is consistently rising close to 8% the uncertainty that existed in years past about finances should be gone. The question is what should this jump really mean to free agents? Some will argue that contracts should grow at 8% across the board to keep up with the cap, basically a salary cap inflation mechanism. Teams will shoot that down of course, saying contracts don’t work that way. That’s been true but really only because it’s simply been the way of doing business and is accepted as such. The reality is plyers this year should be getting raises far greater than 8%.
