Right now, cap space is based on the top 51 contracts the teams have. All teams are required to be under the salary cap by the time the new league year begins March 12 at 4 p.m. ET.

The NFL informed its 32 clubs that the 2025 salary cap will be finalized next week, but that it will fall between $277.5 million and $281.5 million. What does that mean for the Arizona Cardinals?

With just a couple weeks to go until NFL free agency begins, the league announced the salary cap. The NFL and NFLPA agreed to a $279.2 million cap – a new record after a $23.8 million increase from last year.
