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.

This is a better explanation that video put out by NFL. Great job.
Word
The production of the video and the actual educational content were on point.
Very helpful and information in understanding the NFL salary cap and dead cap etc. Thanks for breaking it down really well.:-)
This a great video!
I needed those examples, but other videos wouldn’t give any.
On spotrac, it sometimes mentions potential "outs" in some contracts (like 2026 for russ Wilson's contract) - wondering what that means and how it relates to cap hit/dead cap for his contract?
Love the vids!
I literally thought this was a professional video by the nfl. You deserve a ton more publicity bc this is great stuff!
Good stuff, great detail deserves more views
Great video
Thanks for the support!
just commenting to be nice and help the algorithm. great video. have a good day everyone!
How do teams go over the cap?
This is honestly really helpful
Idk dude, I feel like telling a pro football player that we're gonna put money on you NOT being able to do something might be pretty motivational lol, unless it's so unlikely the player knows it won't happen no matter how good they play. Like, "tell me I won't rush for 2200 yards this year!! Say I won't!!" lol and they go out saying they're gonna do just that all year.
From the graphics to the explanation, this channel is underrated. Keep up the good work
Thanks!
It’s such a quality video can’t believe it only has 3k views
What if a player is about to hit their expected incentive, but the team sits him the last game of the year so it can get credit for the next year's cap? Does the player have any recourse?
Needed this! Thanks!! Now I know how the money works!!!
Todd Gurley biggest dead cap in NFL history. Russell Wilson Denver Broncos: hold my beer
Great videos, what software do u use for your data visualizations and video charts?
Thanks! We use adobe illustrator and after effects for most of our graphics. We also use the programming language r and occasionally Tableau
Cash over cap if you've got the money you can spend way more than the cap
I know I'm a year late to this conversation but currently there are about half the league OVER the salary cap. Can you explain how that works and when are they required to get back under? Is it before they can sign a new player?
That is only allowed during the off-season. During the season you only have 7 days to get back under the cap otherwise you will be fined. The deadline to be back under the cap is March 15th.
@@numbersbehind March 15th? The offseason is just beginning then isn't it? Seems like the deadline would be around the same time final rosters are submitted.
you bash me or take me the jail if am wrong but the “offseason” is the beginning of the new season….the new league year as they call it. Kinda weird but teams have to be under cap by 4:00 pm est. once under the cap they can sign new players like draftees or free agents. Those contracts will count for that year cap and beyond. In addition all previous contracts will be using the new cap space. As for your say on shouldn’t it be once final roster cuts….smart idea but hey that’s the nfl for ya. 😂l
We're a lightly PINK bar on your Adjusted Salary Cap bar chart!? Holy hell.... Pittsburgh is at least silver....
Why this beat go so hard
OBJ no tantrums bonus 😅
The cap should be simpler. Contracts should be limited to three seasons. If you stopped the manipulation then you would see more one year deals. More player movement would mean teams at the bottom could come up quick. Teams at the top would not be able to load up on players then tank. Tanking should be eliminated in my opinión. They are punishing yeams like Miami for this with unfair referees but this also is a bad idea.
This is as clear as mud. The creatures did a good job.
7:30 "$100k Bonus for no tantrums" yup, that bonus isn't getting paid out
Question: is there a limit to how much dead cap space a team could have what if a team cut 5 players and had 60 million in dead cap is there any sort of bail out from the league ?
All money paid to players must eventually hit the salary cap. This means that there can’t be any relief of dead cap
You never mentioned when a Contract is completly voided....
Interesting video but the music selection, it's no good. It's like being stuck at a terrible disco.
This is pretty cool thank u for explaining this. After watching it makes me shake my head even more about GMs, you might as well not sign anyone for more than 2 years, give a little more guaranteed money so they play their hearts out, and most of the time by a players 3rd or 4th year they're beat up and hurt, the average NFL career is only 3 years anyway, so why would you complicate your salary cap trying to predict what a player will do 2,3,4 years from now when the majority of the time players don't fulfill an entire contract anyway. I see why they do it, but if your teams goal is to win a Superb Owl 🦉 then just like they say, they can manipulate the salary cap to get almost any player they want when the player is available.
It’s a 50/50 contract. Yes you do sign with a specific team and how that team manages their money and negotiate is how they effect things. But you are basically signing with the NFL with all the rules
in 2022 its set at 208,000,000 $
NFL teams probably have the best accountants
Now it goes white.
Neat
