The NFL announced today that the 2024 Salary Cap will be $255.4 million per club, with an additional $74 million per club payment for player benefits, which includes Performance Based Pay and benefits for retired players.

The Commanders had roughly $70 million in salary cap space and will now have approximately $87 million, according to Over The Cap. They are number one in the league in terms of cap space.

Per the NFL, “Total 2024 player costs will be $329.4 million per club, or more than $10.5 billion league-wide. The unprecedented $30 million increase per club in this year’s Salary Cap is the result of the full repayment of all amounts advanced by the clubs and deferred by the players during the Covid pandemic as well as an extraordinary increase in media revenue for the 2024 season.
