What was the 2014 NFL season salary cap per team?

The 2014 NFL season salary cap per team was $133 million.

The salary cap limits how much each franchise can spend on player contracts that count against the league’s cap. The figure applied to the 2014 league year and represented a small increase over the $123 million cap used in 2013.

The cap is negotiated through the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement and is influenced largely by league revenue, including television contracts, ticket sales, and sponsorships. It does not mean every team spent exactly $133 million, because clubs could carry unused cap space forward and apply various contract mechanisms.

A common mix-up is confusing the salary cap with the franchise-tag values announced for individual positions. Those tag figures were separate calculations based on the salaries of top players at each position. The $133 million figure was the overall per-team limit.
