The year following the 2021 season the cap more than doubled the highest jump in the history of the cap increasing by almost $26 million in a single year (2022). For a comparison, that single year increase was only $7 million less than the entire cap in 1994 ($34.6M).

This is what I have been trying to stress for years around here. Just based upon the current deals the cap will grow to over $300 million before the end of this decade. Only something catastrophic can affect the growth.
