The NFL salary cap continues to skyrocket.
While an official figure has yet to be established, the league provided clubs a projected salary cap range of $277.5 million to $281.5 million per club for the 2025 season, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday, per sources informed of the situation.
The estimated range is more than clubs had been anticipating. In December, teams were budgeting for a salary cap of $265 million to $275 million. Regardless of where it lands, every club will have more than projected.
At a minimum, it's a $22.1 million leap forward from the $255.4 million salary cap in 2024. At its largest, it's a $26.1 million increase.
The cavernous cap escalation continues as the business of football booms.
The estimation means the salary cap will have increased by at least $100 million since 2018 when it was $177 million, and more than $53 million in the last two years.
