NFL Salary Cap Expected to Soar for 2025 Season
This year, New York is buzzing with the news regarding the NFL salary cap, which continues to climb higher. According to sources, the league has projected a salary cap range of $277.5 million to $281.5 million per club for the upcoming 2025 season. This excitement stems from an earlier estimation where teams predicted a cap of $265 million to $275 million. It seems clubs will be pleasantly surprised since each will have at least $22.1 million more than last year’s cap of $255.4 million, often representing a leap of up to $26.1 million depending on the final figure.
The growth of the salary cap marks a significant increase of over $100 million since 2018, when it stood at $177 million. To put this into perspective, in just the past two years alone, the cap has risen by more than $53 million.
In more team-specific news, the Philadelphia Eagles have decided to promote Kevin Patullo from pass game coordinator to offensive coordinator. Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions are also making changes by elevating Kelvin Sheppard from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator for 2025.
Other news includes the Dallas Cowboys hiring Klayton Adams as their offensive coordinator. Former Bears head coach and now Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus expressed enthusiasm about building a new and dynamic defense.
In a noteworthy move, veteran quarterback Andy Dalton has signed a two-year deal to return to the Carolina Panthers. Additionally, with uncertainty surrounding Deebo Samuel’s future with the San Francisco 49ers, tight end George Kittle spoke about the necessary adjustments the team will need to make.
The NFL will soon enter a crucial period as the window for clubs to use the franchise tag opens on February 18 at 4 p.m. ET and will close on March 4.
As this off-season continues to develop, fans are sure to stay glued to the latest updates and roster moves.
