NFL releases salary cap, franchise numbers

By Dave Brown

The salary cap for next season has been set at $120.6 million, according to league sources. It's only a small increase over the $120 million figure from last season, and is expected to jump more next season.

From NFL.com:

The values for restricted free agent designations and franchise tenders have also been set. The regular restricted free-agent tender is $1.26 million, while a second-round tender is $1.927 million. The first-round tender amount is $2.742 million.

Franchise tags (in millions):
Quarterback: $14.436
Running back: $7.742
Wide receiver: $9.515
Tight end: $5.446
Offensive line: $9.383
Defensive end: $10.605
Defensive tackle: $7.96
Linebacker: $8.856
Cornerback: $10.281
Safety: $6.212
Kicker/Punter: $2.654


That means Cliff Avril now has a number attached to his non-exclusive franchise tag value, one I was about $.05 million off earlier when I posted preliminary values.

Other reports have the Lions over the salary cap between $4 million and $11 million, depending on where one gets the information. All NFL teams over the salary cap have until Tuesday, March 13th to come into compliance with the cap.
