The NFL Salary Cap has officially been set at $143.28 million. That's a $10 million increase from last year's number and it's right on with what our own capologist, Davis Hsu, has been using as his number. With the official salary cap numbers in the books, we now know/knew the official franchise tag numbers as well. The Seahawks did not franchise or transition tag any of their players.
Official franchise tag numbers:
QB ($18.544M)
RB ($10.951M)
WR ($12.823M)
TE ($8.347M)
OL ($12.943M)
DE ($14.813M)
DT ($11.193M)
LB ($13.195M)
CB ($13.075M)
S ($9.618M)
K/P ($4.126M)
The Cowboys tagged WR Dez Bryant, the Broncos tagged WR Demaryius Thomas, the Giants tagged DE Jason Pierre-Paul, the Patriots tagged K Steven Gostkowski, and the Chiefs tagged OLB Justin Houston. The Dolphins transition tagged TE Charles Clay. The only real threat for a franchise tag was Byron Maxwell but the Seahawks decided against that. It would've cost them $13.075M against the cap.
The NFLPA also released official salary cap numbers for every team, including 2014 rollover.
