The official salary cap number for the 2022 NFL league year has been made official on Monday and it’s exactly the amount that has been expected for several months.
According to several reports on Monday, the NFL’s 2022 salary cap will be $208.2 million. Last May, the NFL and NFLPA have agreed to a $208.2 million salary cap ceiling for the 2022 season. At that time, there was no cap floor established. The sides agreed last August to spread the COVID-related league revenue shortfall from 2020 over several years, and the resulted in the cap number dropping to $182.
