Multiple reports are now underscoring what Kraft stated yesterday. There will not be a huge jump in the cap come 2014 because of the TV deals, rather the increase will be steady and not start until 2015. One reason is that money is being borrowed from the future in order to have a $120M cap in the present. That money will be deducted when the TV money is factored in. Another is that local revenues are remaining flat. Quite a few teams have not increased ticket prices in some time and a few have decreased them due to decreased demand.
Current projections per Casserly are for a $120M cap again in 2013, a $122M cap in 2014, and a higher cap come 2015. I'd guesstimate that they've already used several million in future cap space to prop up the cap in 2011 and 2012, and will borrow more in 2013 just to maintain it there, so the increase in 2015 might be <$10M.
Brady is sooooooo getting an extension...
