The NFL salary cap is set to increase even more than initially projected, a development that will make every owner, coach, player and fan happy.
The NFL salary cap for last season was $255.4 million, and the league continues to enjoy record revenue totals through television ratings, merchandise, and ticket sales. Well, it’s about to grow a lot higher in 2025.
According to a report from ESPN’s Dan Graziano, NFL teams were informed that the salary cap for 2025 will be between $277.5 million and $281.5 million. The league sent out a memo detailing that it’s not official yet and that it could change following discussions with the NFLPA.
Obviously, it’s hard to envision the players rejecting the league’s plan to increase the salary cap. The higher the salary cap, the more money teams will pay their players. And with the cap projected to increase by over $20 million, owners will have more money to spend than ever before.
Just take this short-and-sweet response from Dallas Cowboys superstar linebacker Micah Parsons about news of the planned increase for the NFL salary cap in 2025:

It’s astonishing just how much the NFL salary cap has grown in the past decade alone. Per Spotrac.com, the salary cap for the 2015 season was $143.28 million. And trust us, that was a really high number at the time.
And if you want to go back to 2011, after the lockout ended with a new CBA agreement, the salary cap was $120.375 million. In 2022, two years after the COVID-impacted season, the salary cap was $208.2 million.
The salary cap increase is good news for all 32 teams. This year, it especially helps cap-strapped teams such as the New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys.
