Although the cap won't go up to $215M like we thought a few months ago a modest increase is likely.
Remember, the league and the NFLPA already agreed to spread this year's revenue losses over the next 4 caps.
This is the opinion expressed in this article: [
www.profootballnetwork.com] "... the NFL’s salary cap could potentially rise a small amount to $200 million in 2021."
And here's a way to lay out a $60M shortfall over 4 years, as we discussed in a different thread:
What if they spread that $60M over the next 4 years like this: $5M in 2021, $15M in 2022, $20M in 2023, and $20M in 2024?
Here's how that would play out:
Current cap projections from overthecap.com: [overthecap.com]
2021 $215M
2022 $227.5M
2023 $241M
2024 $256M
New cap projections with my suggested cuts:
2021 $210M
2022 $212.5M
2023 $221M
2024 $236M
