Ja’Marr Chase set to make at least $40 million annually; NFL’s salary cap increasing by over $20 million

The Cincinnati Bengals will have more money to play with as it looks to re-sign Tee Higgins and also extend Ja’Marr Chase this offseason.

Multiple reports indicate that the NFL informed teams Wednesday that the 2025 per-team salary cap would be between $277.5 million and $281.5 million, an increase of over $20 million from last year’s $255.4 million cap.

Overall, the salary cap has increased by over $50 million in the last two years.

With the increase, the Bengals are now estimated to have $51-55 million in cap space available this offseason without factoring in any roster cuts or restructured contracts.
