According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the NFL has officially set the salary cap for the 2023 season at $224.8 million, up from $208.2 million a year ago.
“The CBA is a revenue-sharing deal, and new media contracts, 17th game, etc., are all contributing to a rise that should continue,” Pelissero tweeted. “The league anticipates it will provide more info concerning total projected costs, including player benefits, in early March.”
This is close to the estimated number ($225 million) NFL teams had been operating under since last season, and most organizations have already used a significant portion of that allotment, including the Detroit Lions.
