The NFL salary cap is rising by $23.8 million, which is good news for teams looking to keep key free agents.
The NFL’s salary cap will be a record-high $279.2 million in 2025, an increase of $23.8 million. The league informed teams of the new cap figure on Thursday during the NFL Scouting Combine. The salary cap was set at $255.4 million in 2024, up more than $30 million from the previous year. The NFL's salary cap will have more than doubled since being $123 million in 2009. It was $188.2 million in 2019. It was $34.608 million in 1994, the first year the NFL had a salary cap.
It also means more money for Minnesota to re-sign quarterback Sam Darnold or Kansas City to bring back guard Trey Smith or Super Bowl champion Philadelphia to keep linebacker Zack Baun. It's also significant for teams projected to be over the cap when the new league year begins in March: Atlanta, Seattle, Buffalo and Cleveland. It might not be enough to save New Orleans, which is more than $50 million over the projected cap and by far in the worst shape heading into 2025.
