The NFL will increase the salary cap for 2014 to $133 million.

Recent increases have been by only one or two million dollars per season.

The official number will be announced on Friday or Monday.

The owners projected the cap to come in at $126.3 million.

The NFL's projection on the salary cap for the 2014 season is now at $132 million.

Earlier in the week, it was reported that it would increase from $123 million to $130 million, which already was a figure higher than teams were expecting.

Teams do not need to be compliant with the cap until March 11.

Ray Rice has been charged with simple assault-domestic violence due to an incident involving his fiancee last weekend in Atlantic City.

Rice is facing legal action and could also be subject to a suspension by the NFL.

John Harbaugh does not anticipate Rice's legal situation to impact his status with the Baltimore Ravens.

"Not that I'm aware of," replied Harbaugh when asked if there is a scenario where Rice would no longer be with the Ravens. "I haven't seen anything that would remotely make me think that."

Harbaugh acknowledged that it's a complicated situation.

"Yeah, there's a lot of facts, a lot of process that has to be worked through in anything like this," Harbaugh said. "There are a lot of question marks. Ray's character, I think his character, you guys know his character. You start with that."

The NFL will increase its salary cap to approximately $130 million, representing a five percent increase from $123 million in 2013.

The figure is higher than teams were expecting.

Teams do not need to be compliant with the salary cap until March 11.

The NFL has partnered with CBS to produce and televise Thursday Night Football for the 2014 season.

CBS will air eight early season games that will be simulcast on NFL Nework.

The NFL Network will also televise eight late season games.

Two late-season games will return to Saturday.
