The NFL has set its salary cap for 2021 for $ 182.5 million. With a significant reduction of $ 15.7 million against $ 198.2 million in 2020, it is left to the teams to make the cuts that will help get them under the cap for the upcoming season.
Although Cap should make the typical jump with the revenue of a new television deal in 2022, the outcome of a season affected by the COVID-19 security protocol is now being felt in the league. Teams are now required to release more players than usual in the NFL free-agency pool, where they will also have less outside of spending flexibility.
