NFL announces record-breaking $301.2M salary cap for 2026 season

The NFL's new year is a little over 13 days away, with the league's free agency tampering period set to begin on March 9. Last February, the NFL announced a record-breaking salary cap of $279.2 million for the 2025 season, a significant increase from the 2024 cap of $255.4 million.

Now, Brian McCarthy reports that the NFL informed front offices today that the 2026 salary cap will be $301 million per team. The Ravens are undergoing an offseason of change, including a new head coach, an offensive coordinator, and a defensive coordinator, along with key personnel departures. While the franchise won't undergo a complete rebuild, there will be overhauls made at key positions, and Eric DeCosta should have plenty of draft capital to help reload.
