Free agency is just around the corner, and the NFL has officially set the 2022 salary cap at $208.2 million, according to numerous insiders around the league.
It doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Last May, the NFL and NFLPA agreed to a $208.2 million salary cap ceiling for the 2022 season. The new salary cap is a $25.7 million increase from last season’s cap of $182.5 million.
With the cap set at $208.2 million, that would give the Bears $26.3 million in salary cap space ahead of the start of the new league year, according to Over The Cap. That’s the 12th most cap space in the NFL.
