The NFL is hiking its salary cap once again thanks to another profitable season for the league.

As first reported by ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the Commissioner’s Office on Wednesday informed teams the NFL salary cap will be raised to somewhere between $277.5 million to $281.5 million for the 2025 season. That’s a dramatic rise from the $255.4 million salary cap teams faced in 2024 and a $53 million increase over the last two seasons.

DailyMail.com has reached out to NFL spokespeople for confirmation.  

Generally speaking, the league salary cap is based on a 48-percent player share of the league’s football-related income and then divided by the number of NFL teams: 32.

A number of NFL teams should be celebrating the move, although none more than the Kansas City Chiefs, who were facing a number of cap casualties heading into the offseason. 

Travis Kelce remains under contract as he ponders retirement, but now the reigning AFC Champions stand a much better chance at keeping Pro Bowl right guard Trey Smith while addressing issues at right and left tackle.
