2019 Saints NFL Free Agency

I realize NFL revenue will increase. DB'S, LB'S DL'S WR'S are starting to get what used to be "Elite QB" contracts. If that trend continues the salary cap has to grow with the NFL revenue for teams to survive. If not teams will have to "reload" through the draft.

The salary cap is already tied to the league's revenues (between 47% to 48.5%). That's why the increase in salaries is pretty meaningless to the league's bottom line. The CBA demands that the owners increase salaries as the revenues increase.
