Bills get 2025 salary cap boost as NFL increases allowance considerably
The Buffalo Bills got some good news in terms of their spending limit allowed by the NFL during the upcoming offseason.
The league has announced on Wednesday that this upcoming season’s salary cap has jumped a pretty considerable margin. The final number is not yet set, but according to reports, the 2025 NFL salary cap will fall somewhere between $277.5 and $281.5 million.
That’s an increase from $255.4M in 2024:
The cap typically does go up each NFL offseason, but the total is larger than most expected. Over the Cap had projected the salary cap to be $272.5M while Spotrac had it at $275M.
Last week, OTC had the Bills approximately $14.1M over next year’s cap in their projections. With the increased space, it will be easier for Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane to mend that gap and also create extra space for more transactions this spring.
At some point before the start of free agency in March, the NFL will announce the official salary cap total.
Bills Wire will provide updates throughout the 2025 offseason.
