The NFL has set the salary cap for 2022. There is no surprise. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the cap is set at $208.2 million, which is the total that was expected. - That is an increase of more than $25 million over last season’s cap, which was $182.5 million. Of course, the 2021 cap was reduced because of the 2020 pandemic season without fans in stadiums for most of the season. - Teams can also roll over unused cap space from the previous season. - For the Arizona Cardinals, who roll over just under $2 million, their salary cap will be $210.2 million. - However, even with the increased salary cap, the Cardinals have work to do. - According to Over the Cap on Tuesday, the Cardinals have just more than $2,000 in cap space and were over the cap by more than $3 million in effective cap space. - They will have to make some moves to get under the cap, as all teams must be under the cap by the start of the new league year next Wednesday. - - List - - Biggest winners from the 2022 NFL combine - - - - - - - Listen to the latest from Cards Wire’s Jess Root on his podcast, Rise Up, See Red.
