What's the NFL Salary Cap for 2024?
The salary cap for all NFL teams is $255,400,000 per club for the 2024 season. During the NFL Combine, Bills GM Brandon Beane said that number is higher than he expected, which is a good thing for Buffalo.
"Every dollar you can get helps you," Beane said. "Whether it's extensions, whether it's modifying their contract, whether it's, in this case, restructuring – which is really just moving some money down. … We were conservatively planning for a number in the 40's so to get to $255 (million), I was smiling."
