Salary cap spikes, and more of the same are likely coming

Last year, the NFL and NFL Players Association agreed to spread the impact of the pandemic over multiple cap years. Even with that understanding, this year’s cap jumped dramatically, from $182.5 million per team in 2021 to $208.2 million per team in 2022.

The increase — $25.7 million per team — suggests that more of the same will be coming in future years, thanks to spikes in TV rights and an inevitable increase in gambling revenue. In 2021 alone, the league saw $270 million in new revenue from gambling, with an expectation that, by the end of the decade, it will grow to $1 billion or more annually.
