The NFLPA is projecting a 2015 cap of approximately $143 million.

The league had informed team executives at the owners meeting in December that the 2015 salary cap would be between $138.6 and $141.8 million. At the time, the NFL Players Association, in a memo, believed a "substantial increase" would be added to that amount.

The 2014 NFL salary cap was set at $133 million, up from $123 million the previous season.
