NFL announces huge bump in salary cap for 2023
According to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero, the league has informed teams that the 2023 salary cap will be set at $224.8 million for the upcoming season.
According to Over the Cap, the Pittsburgh Steelers currently have $222.269 million in its top 51 contracts for 2023. This means even with a $16 million bump in salary cap for the upcoming season, the Steelers will go into the offseason ever so slightly under the cap but with several big free-agent decisions to make.
This means the Steelers will still have to release some players and do some contract re-structures to sign their own top free agents before even considering any from other teams.
The NFL informed teams today that the 2023 salary cap will be a record $224.8 million per club, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
That’s up from $208.2 million in 2022, $182.5M in 2021 (COVID adjustment), 198.2M in 2020 and $188.2M in 2019.
