Heading into the 2020 season teams were expecting another increase in salary cap in 2021. Teams have made correlated moves based on that anticipation. Welp, we should have learned at least one thing this year — the world does not care about your business plans. The Chicago Bears are not the only team that will suffer from the coronavirus’ effects on the future of the NFL. However, some teams are in better shape than others.
Looking ahead, the Chicago Bears are tight up against the cap right now for 2020. We will not know what will roll over into 2021, but my assumption is that it will be less than $10 million.
