That’s tough in small market teams in any sport. It would be interesting like @Elmgrovegnome stated. You’d see which owners have the deep pockets for players. Verse a few owners who would pull their “empty pockets” out like the monopoly guy...

I still believe that regardless to what the cap number ends up being, that there will be some sort of tolerance or carry over for this 1 year. They collectively bargain for a reason and the less than can deviate from the previously hammered out deal, the better

IMO, we aren't getting rid of both Whitworth and Havenstein, and Robinson and Gaines aren't ahead of SJD. SJD had a great year and held on to his job.

Agree.
Anyone that was paying attention could see how effective Joseph-Day was in 2020.
Because this is part of the cap calculations.

I think the $180M floor is going to be used to push for 17 games this season.
On a per game basis, adding a 17th game would raise the cap to $191,250,000 from $180M and the floor is slightly higher than that so somewhere between $191M and $192M.
I could see the NFLPA being okay with that since they know that eventually, we'll be at 18 games and it's a matter of negotiating something for it. I also think they'll look to end MJ as a tested drug if they haven't already.

I wonder...
Don't they calculate performance bonuses against the cap on how likely they are to be hit? 17th game makes all of them more likely

If I'm not mistaken, they calculate likeliness based on whether or not it happened the previous year. If they did, they're "likely to be earned". If they didn't they are "not likely to be earned". It's up to teams to set the incentives at levels they can deal with cap wise for this year and the next (and have the player agree in the contract).
The NFLPA has already conceded to having a 17th game in the CBA that was signed last year. If the owners want the 17th game in this year, it will be. It's totally their option
Yeah there's a lot going on here which affects the cap for 2021. Heck, if they land new 10 year TV deals and add a 17th game, we could still see the cap rise from last year
They said it wont be lower than 180, they still dont have revenue figured out. Only speculation to the 185 number

Agreed, dump ESPN. If taking a smaller tv contract lets them start streaming games to anyone who wants to pay for it I'm all for it. Bring on the streaming and kill the directv/cable bullshit unless given an option to pay for it without either paywalls.
I kind of like the idea of the 2 Monday nighters, 1 on ABC, the other on ESPN. Screw the Doubleheaders, ratings suck on Mondays anymore, so have another game be the alternative to a bad game vs Netflix
Florio (take it for what it's worth) said that the nfl is telling people that 185 won't be reached and that 182-183 is the likely.
Yeah, I get that, Florio taking a stab at it.
There's so much money out there, its in the owners best interest to keep the cap high as well to avoid a huge increase next year.
Not happening. Brockers played some of his best football and was much healthier last year. The rams have to keep the OTs!
