Opal312 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 This is from Dawgsbynature.com What is the Projection for the 89% Rule? The minimum spending requirement says that teams must spend, in cash, at least 89% of the total salary cap from 2013-2016. This is impossible to figure out to precision, because the salary cap is not known until around March each year. We know the official salary cap numbers for 2013-2015, but 2016 is still yet to be determined. We have estimated the 2016 cap to be $150 million, per OverTheCap. To determine the 89% minimum cash spending requirement, the sums of the salary caps are multiplied by 89%. Year Salary Cap 2013 $123.00 million 2014 $133.00 million 2015 $143.20 million 2016 $150.00 million Total Salary Cap $549.20 million 89% Floor (Minimum Spending) $488.79 million If the total salary cap from 2013-2016 is $549.20 million, then every NFL team, including the Browns, must have a cash spend of at least 89% of that by the end of the 2016 season, which is $488.79 million.
