We've known for quite some time that the NFL salary cap would, for the first time since the uncapped 2010 season, not be going up in 2021. We still don't have an exact figure as to what it will be in the coming year, but the NFL have announced that it will be at least $180 million.
Armed with this figure, we can see that a host of teams are already in serious trouble with regards their cap position. But regardless, this is a time of year in which teams are always looking to rid themselves of surplus players who have -- in the opinion of the front office -- come to the end of their usefulness on their current contract.
