Saints News, 2/16/16: NFL Cap Rises to $155 Million

The NFL officially announced the new NFL cap, which now sits at $155 million, about $12 million higher than last year. This will put the Saints an estimated $1.8 million below the cap, allowing them minimal room in free agency barring further personnel/contract changes. It's also franchise tag day, so if the Saints should choose to tag a player it will occur between today and March 1.
