The COVID cap is the NFL’s ‘Let them eat cake’ moment

As we’ve known since the COVID-CBA was announced before the season, the NFL is going to have a maximum reduced salary cap of $175 million (down from the nearly $200 million from this season and what would’ve most likely have been around $210 million if not for COVID) thanks mostly the lost ticket revenue that accounts for ~ 15% of their yearly earnings.

The good news is that according to Pro Football Talk the amount won’t be $175 million. The bad news? It’ll most likely be $180 million.

Good news: The salary cap may not drop all the way to $175 million in 2021.
