NFL free agency opens next month, and now teams know how much they can spend.
On Friday, the NFL revealed the 2024 salary cap would be $255.4 million — an increase of $30 million per NFL team from the 2023 season. It was the largest year-to-year increase for the salary cap since its inception in 1994.
This was good news for the Washington Commanders and new general manager Adam Peters. No NFL team has more cap space than Washington in 2024, and Friday’s news gives the Commanders even more room to bring in outside talent. The salary was projected at around $242 million.
Peters has stated Washington will be a draft-and-develop team, using free agency to supplement the roster. Still, with so many holes in the first year of a new regime, the Commanders could use free agency to improve quickly in 2024.
