They normally set the cap in December but I read they (owners and NFLPA) will decide in late February or March.
175M would unfairly cripple some teams but I would like to see the cap as low as possible bc I think that would benefit us.

I think it’s quite likely that, if the math said the cap needs to be something low like $175M, then the owners will come together and make a deal to borrow some from the future so the cap doesn’t have to sit at $175M and hurt so many teams.
It’s not in the best interests of the NFL to have 20 teams in a position where they have to cut productive veterans. They’ll strike a deal to work around that.
