The NFL salary cap has been announced for the 2024 season via multiple sources, with Jonathan Jones of CBS making the first official report. The salary cap will receive a whopping $30.6 million increase from the previous season, raising all the way up to $255.4 million. This number is well over many projections made previously, which were typically in the range of $242-$250 million at max. However, with increased media revenue, payment in full of all advancements from the COVID-19 pandemic (according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com), and the general economic increase that comes year to year with the NFL this will have a huge effect on the offseason for every NFL team, but for our New Orleans Saints, it may make the difference between an offseason of smaller moves and the ability to make one big move.
