The NFL’s salary cap could be headed for a record high of $220 million per club in 2023, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
However, a number of unknowns leave the exact cap number unclear with just over three months until the start of free agency and the new league year.
NFL Network reports that a source familiar with the process would put the 2023 cap number at “well above 220 (million).” However, the NFL has not made its cap projection amid questions about revenue from new TV deals and payouts of player benefits that were deferred during the COVID-19 pandemic, according Rapoport and Pelissero.
