Yesterday, the NFL increased the Salary Cap by 16.6 million dollars to an All-Time high of 224.8 million dollars. This was a huge increase, after the salary cap fluctuated back in 2021 due to COVID. The NFL set the franchise tag and transition tag numbers yesterday as well. Here are the amounts that could be paid out!


Per multiple reports, the franchise tags are as follows:

  • Quarterback: $32,416,000.
  • Running back: $10,091,000.
  • Receiver: $19,743,000.
  • Tight end: $11,345,000.
  • Offensive line: $18,244,000.
  • Defensive end: $19,727,000.
  • Defensive tackle: $18,937,000.
  • Linebacker: $20,926,000.
  • Cornerback: $18,140,000.
  • Safety: $14,460,000.
  • Kicker/punter: $5,393,000.
The transition tag provides only a right to match, with no compensation. The transition tags are as follows:

  • Quarterback: $29,504,000.
  • Running back: $8,429,000.
  • Receiver: $17,991,000.
  • Tight end: $9,716,000.
  • Offensive line: $16,660,000.
  • Defensive end: $17,452,000.
  • Defensive tackle: $16,068,000.
  • Linebacker: $17,478,000.
  • Cornerback: $15,791,000.
  • Safety: $11,867,000.
  • Kicker/punter: $4,869,000.
 
Rams proposed "to make fouls for Roughing the Passer called on the field subject to replay assist and/or review by a coach’s challenge."

I think making them subject to replay assist is the right way to thread this needle. Sometimes it's obvious that there was no blow to the head or similar, and the booth can see that right away. Coach's challenges with these judgment calls never work because it ultimately becomes a battle of wills/credibility.
 
Are they gonna ban that rugby scrum that the Eagles have been doing?

They should seems a lot of people are against it and I agree someone is going to get hurt doing it when they fall and get trampled on.
 
Reports that Roger Goodell and owners are close to a contract extension and could be approved at next weeks owners meeting. Goodell is 64 years old and a possible extension could be his last as past extensions had been 5 years in length.
