The salary cap is set for the 2025 NFL season.
As previously reported, the projected new cap was estimated to be in the range of $277.5 million to $281.5 million, several million higher than initial projections from sites like OverTheCap.com. The NFL and NFLPA have agreed on a total that’s just about smack dab in the middle of the estimates.
This is nowhere near the biggest salary cap jump in terms of percentage increase—not even 10% up from the 2024 season—but it’s still a strong indicator that 2026 will be the first time the cap will exceed $300 million.
