At some point next month or early March, the NFL and the Players Association will agree on a final number for the 2021 salary cap. The news can’t come fast enough for several teams, including the Cardinals, who have a staggering 27 players set to hit unrestricted free agency.
Finding a way to bring most of them back, in addition to having enough money to sign quality free agents from the outside, was already going to be a difficult ordeal. It could become even more restrictive, however, if it is determined this year’s salary cap will be lowered from $198.
