Last May, the NFL and NFLPA agreed on a 2022 salary cap ceiling of $208.2 million as the league looked to re-gain lost funding from the 2020 season due to COVID-19 restrictions. By December, things remained on track to hit their targeted number as fans returned to stadiums and the NFL and the money rolled in.
On Monday, the NFL officially set the 2022 salary cap at the maximum agreed-upon amount of $208.2 million, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
The 2022 cap is a $25.7 million dollar increase from last year’s cap of $182.
