According to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero the league has informed the league about the projected bump in the salary cap for 2026. Pelissero is reporting that the league is look at a bump from $279.2 million in 2025 to up as high as $305.7 million in 2026.
Even more surprising, these numbers would mark a $100 million increase from the 2022 salary cap. The top NFL free agents set to hit the market in the coming months are now eyeing huge raises as teams have even more money to spend in the offseason. This includes the Pittsburgh Steelers who already have money to spend.
Pittsburgh already has something in the neighborhood of $45.8 million in cap space so a $25 million bump and only two or key in-house contracts to deal with, new head coach Mike McCarthy will have plenty of freedom to upgrade this roster. The first order of business for McCarthy and the Steelers will be to sort out the quarterback position for the upcoming season.
