The NFL has set the salary cap for the coming season and communicated it to the teams, which means that a record high in player salaries can be achieved. One team is well below the salary cap, another clearly above it.
Die NFL informed teams on Monday that the salary cap for 2023 will be set at $224.8 million per club. This surpassed the previous record of $208.2 million set in 2022.
Record amount! NFL player salaries are higher than ever
Previous reports had indicated that the salary cap would hit a record high, but an increase of more than $16 million is still a surprising jump. From 2013 to 2020, the salary cap had only increased by $10.74 million per year.
Ahead of this year’s record total, the league’s salary cap had dropped from $198.2 million in 2020 to $182.5 million in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The cap for 2019 years was $188.2 million.
