The minimum it can be is $175 mill, but there were some reports back in Dec that it could be closer to $195 mill per PFT.
As we get closer to the start of FA, Tom Pelissero reports it could be close to $185 mill.

ProFootballTalk (PFT) is now reporting that the Salary Cap may not drop to $175 mill, but it may still fall to around $180 mill.

It's worth noting the final number may not be known until just before the start of the new league year on March 17, when FA begins. Hopefully it will be at least a couple weeks sooner.

How do you even have a free agency with 185. I think Bengals would have an advantage in this market, but I could see a lot of backloaded contracts that are extremely risky.
