NFL Announces 2025 Salary Cap
The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to a 2025 salary cap of $279.2 million per club.
The $279.2 million cap number represents a $23.8 million increase from last year's $255.4 million figure and is the latest record high.
The escalation of the cap represents more than $100 million than what it sat at in 2018 ($177 million) and nearly $200 million more than it was in 2005 ($85.5 million). Only a brief COVID-induced downtick in 2021 has been able to slow the rise.

Football is an essential piece of America’s fabric, uniting fans, players and communities with a simple yet powerful bond. We honor the game’s history while continuing to innovate and preserve the sport for future generations of fans, players, coaches, teams and officials.
