The increase in the salary ceiling of $ 30 million from last year is the result of the full reimbursement of all the amounts advanced by NFL teams And delayed by the players during the coco-19 pandemic as well as an “extraordinary” increase in media income for the 2024 season, According to the League operations site.
Obviously, a larger salary ceiling is good news for each of the 32 NFL teams. This is particularly good for teams like the Bengals of Cincinnati, who have several high-level players that they are trying to re-die, including Ja’mar Chase and Tee Higgins.
