ill be honest, i know that figure has been thrown around for a while now but i really thought they would come to their senses and spread the covid impact out more in future years.
I read an article this morning (can't find the link) that stated that the $182.5M salary cap is based on a combo of 2020 projected revenue and negotiations.
The eye-opening part was that it said the 2020 projected revenue was $160M. It's the negotiations with the players union that got it to $182.5M. This tells me that they are spreading the losses over a few years and next year may not be as big of a jump as we think.
They already long since decided to spread the 2020 cap loss over 4 years.
So that's accounted for.
Meanwhile the increase in network revenue comes in too. It is reportedly reaching unprecedented levels.
The overall effect will be a raised cap.
Either way no one is going to "come to their senses" if by that you mean less money for players, more for owners. (The one, presumably, being an issue, the other, presumably, not).
Players get 48% of the cap no matter what.
