The NFL Players Association has advised players and agents that the salary cap will see "significant growth" by 2014 "and beyond," according to league sources. Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who was a central figure in last year's collective bargaining agreement, is among the salary-cap expansion skeptics, however, and doesn't foresee a dramatic uptick in future cap figures. "I don't really see that happening," Kraft said. "I think there's going to be a smooth growth. I don't think what happened in 2006 will happen in the future here because if you understand the labor agreement in the long-term part of this, there will be a smooth growth. And anyone who assumes huge jumps, I hope they're in our division."
