We don't know where the cap will be, that is true.
But don't look for expansion teams to prop it up - that would only happen if their revenues were higher than the league average, and there is little chance of that.
Also, expansion won't result in any big new TV deal. That means the same TV revenue (except for any local deal they can muster, which would be irrelevant) now divided by 31 teams - and soon 32 - instead of 30
Expansion will be a drag on the cap, not a boost - by about $1M in my rough estimation
