How the NFL’s $224.8M salary cap for 2023 will impact the Eagles

The NFL announced that the 2023 salary cap will be $224.8 million and here’s how it impacts the Philadelphia Eagles

Around this time two years ago, the Eagles were preparing to shuffle some things around to get under the 2021 salary cap, but 2023 has the potential to be a monster off-season for GM, Howie Roseman.

On Monday, Tom Pelissero confirmed that the salary cap will officially rise to $224 million this spring.

The league and NFLPA previously set the salary cap for the 2021 season at $182.5 million but agreed last spring to raise the floor in 2022, and again in 2023.

With the Carson Wentz dead money and several other huge deals finally off the books, here’s how the Eagles will be impacted by the record number.

Houston Texans will work with $224.8M salary cap in 2023

The Houston Texans and the other 31 NFL teams will have a salary cap of $224.8 million in 2023.

The salary cap continues to rise annually in the NFL, and one of the beneficiaries of the expanding cap is the Houston Texans.

According to Tom Pelissero from the NFL Network, the salary cap will increase from $208.2 million in 2022 to $224.8 million in 2023.

The figures over at Spotrac indicate the Texans will have the fifth-most salary cap in 2023 at $37.1 million.

Houston will be able to sign free agents and retain some of their players on expiring contracts. The extra space is one of the benefits that a new coaching staff would have to work with when it comes to talent acquisition.
