During the financial portion of the @NFL league meetings, teams were given a 2018 salary cap projection of $174.2-178.1M, source says. It was $167M last year. The final number comes in the spring.

I wonder if that was higher or lower than expected

with a probable roster overhaul.

Lower increase than last year

The NBA recently had a reduction in the salary cap that left a few teams in a lurch with horrible contracts.

Lower. There was a thread after Ben/Jerry were let go regarding a roster purge and salary impacts. At the time, the OP had used Overthecap to frame their argument. OTC projects a salary cap of approx. $180M (actual $179.5M).
