The 2024 salary cap was $255.4 million. The actual amount of estimated usually falls near the high end of the estimates. That would be an over $26 million increase in 2025 and $6 million more than originally projected.

The cap will shoot past $300 million in 2026. How far past? No telling, but past that barrier for sure. The current contracts are scheduled to expire in 2033, but the league has an option to cancel and renegociate. With Netflix now pushing to get into the act of broadcasting regular season games, which would mean replacing either Fox or CBS deals, the the cap could go through the roof. $400 million plus by 2030? Easily. Just climbing at the current rate that is a given. Any renegociated deal would likely sending it flying past the $500 million point by that date.

From an outsider's view, it seems like this will help us somewhat in getting in cap compliance, but may reduce the selection of budget free agents available to us. Other teams with ideal cap situations can pay a little extra to lock up the free agent talent we can't afford.

I did a cap outlook article on January 7th and at that time the expectation from overthecap was 276m. So the median here of 279.5m is only 3.5 million higher. Perhaps this could allow us to extend willie gay or foster moreau. I wouldn’t call this an explosion compared to recent cap projections or breaking news when its within 1.5% of the number 2 months ago so it doesnt change articles you read in the past month or two. Probably its better than what we though in August or something, but since then we spent money extending Kamara and making the smart move to trade Lattimore and eat the dead cap. 3.5m is good but no relevation.

2026 and 2027 provide enough room to push money forward in a smart way. I'm less concerned about the cap knowing that.

There were no wild extensions last year. AK obviously earned an extension though. Loomis is headed away from this crippling cap scenario in just a couple of years. We are especially fortunate with the increases in the cap the last two years.

It's going to keep increasing at an even greater pace for the forseeable future. It should be past $400 million as soon as 2030.
