It's that Taylor Swift viewership rating increase man. The NFL is ushering in new waves of fans, networking outside into the streaming industry and slowly but steadily increasing it's international footprint. It makes PLENTY of money. It's a shared pool I believe across all 32 teams. 

They had to raise the cap up more this year because the QB's contracts alone are going to start accounting for mammoth amounts of percentages on each team's salary cap. Get used to QB's eating 30 - 49% of most team's cap's man. 

Would have to look it up but I am busy now with reporting stuff at work. I bet Mahomes, Burrow and Allen are close to those percentages already and that means the next wave of QB's are going to make that the new norm.

Makes you wonder if teams might go full moneyball on the QB position and try to build stud teams around a rookie QB if things ever tighten up cap wise.. Thinking SF with younger Jimmy G/Purdy. Unless you have the next Mahomes, might not be worth to tie up 30%+ of your cap on 1 player and keep trying to find the next big thing at QB with loads of talent everywhere else.
