Latest PFT Report Has 2021 NFL Salary Cap Number Speculated At $180 Million

It’s still way too early to tell what kind of impact the coronavirus had on the NFL’s 2020 season and specifically league revenues for the year. How big of impact will go a long way in determining what the NFL’s salary cap number will be in 2021 as well. All we know at this point in 2021 is that the league has set a floor for the 2021 league-wide salary cap number at $175 million and that was done prior to the 2020 season getting underway. While there has been a lot of optimistic speculation of late that the 2021 salary cap number will come in close to the 2020 number of $198.
