NFL sets cap at $123.9M, up from $120.6M

Joe Flacco - QB - Baltimore Ravens

Feb. 28, 2013 - 7:25 PM ET

The NFL has set the 2013 salary cap at $123.9 million, up from $120.6 million in 2012.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport initially reported the cap would be $123 million flat, but ESPN's Chris Mortensen says after accounting for league revenues, it gets a $900,000 bump. It's not a major spike, but it gives teams a little more breathing room than we were expecting. It could be the difference in keeping a veteran or signing a free agent.
