Browns Cap Space Jumps to $320M as NFL Salary Cap Increases

The NFL has officially set the 2026 salary cap at $301.2 million, a $22 million increase. The Cleveland Browns are expected to have approximately $320 million in available cap space due to rollover.

The NFL salary cap for the 2026 season is now official at $301.2 million, representing a $22 million jump from the previous year. This increase is part of a significant five-year trend, with total player spending rising by over $100 million. The Cleveland Browns are currently projected to sit near $320 million in cap space, thanks to approximately $20 million in rollover cap from the 2025 season.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry has ways to create further space if needed. With the league year approaching, the team is believed to be cap compliant and ready to execute potential moves, extensions, or restructures.
