From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:
Cowboys signed franchise player LE DeMarcus Lawrence to a one-year, $17.143 million contract.
That didn't take long. Lawrence was slapped with the tag earlier Monday and wasted no time signing it, guaranteeing himself the full $17 million and change for 2018. The two sides have until mid-July to hammer out a long-term deal. Lawrence and Ezekiel Ansah were both tagged ahead of free agency.

The NFL announced the salary cap has been set at $177.2 million for 2018. That's a $10.2 million increase from 2017. Over the last half decade, the salary cap has risen close to $60 million. With players making more and more each year and the league raking in billions, the cap will continue to rise.
