[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 710310"] overthecap.com is more accurate from my observations if your question relates to the expended cap on particular players. The two sources are usually close, but I think overthecap posts changes faster and picks up on the finer details. Where the 2017 NFL team cap number will be pegged is a matter for speculation at this point. We'd need to know the details of the TV contracts. The lousy early season TV ratings forced the networks to reimburse advertisers. Do these after-the-fact advertising discounts flow back into the NFL's TV revenue? One would think so. If memory serves, the 2011 CBA has the cap funded by TV money with something like 60% of that revenue stream going to the players. Consequently, I would expect 2017 cap growth to be lower than what was estimated at the start of last season. I would not be shocked if it was flat or slightly negative as a result of the bad ratings assuming there isn't some kind of prior year look back. We'll just have to wait and see. A lot of reasons were given for why the ratings were so bad: Kaepernick, et. al.; unexciting games; the Presidential campaign. While the first two possibilities might have had an affect at the margins, it's fairly clear the chief reason for the drop was the election campaign. Ratings rallied after the election, but still under 2015 levels. Perhaps that's because the President was still campaigning after he won; perhaps people just got out of the habit of watching.
