NFL salary cap rises to record total for 2023 as teams note Tom Brady free agency

The NFL has told franchises the salary cap will rise to a record $224.8 million for the 2023 season.

In a memo sent to all 32 franchises on Monday, the NFL informed figures of the record sum to be spent on player wages for the upcoming season. It represents a solid increase on the 2022 salary cap, which was $208.2m.

This means teams will be able to spend on stars in free agency - or even move for those under contract with rivals, via trade. Tom Brady headlines the free agent class of 2023, which also features running back Saquon Barkley and much of the vaunted Philadelphia Eagles pass-rush that led them to the Super Bowl - with Robert Quinn, Brandon Graham, Javon Hargrave and Fletcher Cox all set to be available.
