Though the NFL has yet to finalzie the salary cap for the 2025 NFL season, ESPN’s Dan Graziano has reported that pending a few decisions from the NFLPA, the limit is expected to land between $277.5 million to $281.5 million.
NFL Memo reads:
“As you know, the 2024 Player Cost and Salary Cap amount was reduced by $10 million per club, due to a $9 million smoothing adjustment and an incremental $1 million being added to Performance Based Pay. The parties agreed that the NFLPA would have the unilateral right to recover up to 50% of the $9 million deferral in the 2025 League Year, with any remaining amount being recovered in the 2026 League Year.
