The 国产外流网salary cap split the difference on the projected figure.
The 国产外流网and NFLPA have agreed to a 2025 salary cap of $279.2 million per club, 国产外流网Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Thursday, per sources informed of the decision.
Last week, the league projected the cap to land between $277.5 million and $281.5 million.
The $279.2 million cap number represents a $23.8 million leap from last year's $255.4 million figure and is the latest record high in an ever-booming business.
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 国产外流网machine.
国产外流网vice president of communications Brian McCarthy that the total projected player costs, including benefits, are slotted at $362.48 million (approximately $11.599 billion for the 32 clubs combined).
Now 国产外流网clubs know exactly how much money -- or how little -- they'll have to play with when the new league year begins on March 12.
