The NFL has officially announced a significant salary cap increase for the 2025 season, setting it at $279.2 million per club—an all-time high. This increase gives teams, including the Detroit Lions, an additional $23.8 million in cap space compared to the previous year.
For the Lions, this is a boost at a crucial time as they look to extend contracts for key players like Aidan Hutchinson and Kerby Joseph. With $52.7 million in available cap space, the Lions are in a strong position to make moves and solidify their roster as they prepare for a big 2025 season.
