The National Football League has this fun thing called a Salary Cap. It keeps all of the 32 teams in check, giving guidelines for how much they can pay players. It was introduced in 1994 and was set at 34.6 million dollars. Today, the salary cap has grown nearly 6 times that amount. Let’s take a look.

The NFL has a hard salary cap, meaning teams cannot go over it. Other leagues with a soft salary cap, such as the NBA, receive fines, called a luxury tax if they go over the cap limit. The NFL’s hard cap is different in the fact that a team pretty much doesn’t even have the ability to be over the cap. All contracts signed between teams and players have to go through the NFL office, so the contract needs to fit within the team’s salary cap or it won't be approved.
