Just three games remain in the 2020 NFL season, and that means that it is only a matter of time before fans begin to narrow in on the free agents and college players they would love to see added to their team for next season. It is little different than in years past, however, this year’s version of free agent dreams and draft hype come with the backdrop of a salary cap that is expected to decrease significantly from the $198.2M at which it was set for 2020.
Reports from December were optimistic that the salary cap could potentially remain in the $195M range for 2021, however, the same outlet has now changed its tune and is expecting the cap to be much closer to the $175M floor that was set in negotiations between the league and the union last year.
