"It was reported on Friday afternoon that the NFL salary cap for 2026 is projected to be north of $300M for the first time ever. To say this is significant is putting it mildly. As it has often been said for the last few years, the salary cap is rising at an exponential rate. This year's cap is projected to be ~$20M more than last year's, all of that television money has to go somewhere."
"At the moment the Dallas Cowboys are technically projected to not have any salary cap space as they are in the red, but we all know that a few restructures will take care of that nicely. Dallas, and everyone to be clear, will easily be in a position to spend if they want to in free agency or to take care of a massive extension for someone like say George Pickens. Whether or not they do so is always the ultimate question."
The NFL salary cap is projected to exceed $300 million in 2026 for the first time. The salary cap has been rising at an exponential rate and is expected to increase by about $20 million from this year to next. Television revenue is driving the larger cap figures. The Dallas Cowboys are currently projected to have no salary cap space and appear in the red, though contract restructures can create immediate room. All teams will have greater ability to pursue free agents or fund large contract extensions such as for George Pickens. Actual offseason spending will depend on team choices.
