NFL salary cap space 2025: All 32 teams ranked by most to least

Super Bowl 59 is in the history books and every NFL team will look to improve its roster during the 2025 offseason.

The NFL’s legal tampering period opened negotiations on Monday, March 10, while the new league year started at 4 p.m. ET on March 12. Many players have already begun agreeing to terms on contracts since Monday’s window opened, but deals become official when free agency starts today.

The NFL’s new league year typically features a bevy of moves. Plenty of impact players have already switched teams, and more well-known stars could find themselves with new homes in 2025.

One key part of the offseason is teams strategizing how to use their salary cap space. Some will have more resources to do so than others.

Who has the most money to spend? Here’s a look at the NFL salary cap space across the league for 2025:

NFL team with most salary cap space

Heading into the new league year, the New England Patriots have the most cap space at $100.8 million. This is a decrease from their league-high $119.8 million before the tampering window. The Patriots hired Mike Vrabel as the new head coach as they look to bring the organization back to prominence. The franchise will likely continue searching for ways to improve the offensive line to protect QB Drake Maye. They’ve spent $212.4 million already since the tampering window opened. This includes the $105 million contract former Eagles DT Milton Williams agreed to on Monday.
