As the Cincinnati Bengals approach a critical NFL free agency period, we now know what the salary cap will be.
According to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero, the NFL and NFLPA have agreed to a 2025 salary cap of $279.2 million.
This comes following reports the cap would be between $277.5 million and $281.5 million, an increase of over $20 million from the 2024 salary cap of $255.4 million.
With the Bengals looking to get massive contract extensions done for Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Trey Hendrickson, that cap increase will go a long way in helping at least one of those deals get done.
