It's not as if the contract was finalized prior to the pandemic and is just now being announced.  I'm sure there is language to intended to deal with any implications related to growth of the cap.  For example, there could be a clause which calls next year's salary a bonus if the salary cap does not exceed that of 2020, which means that the cap hit would get spread out over the remaining 8 years instead of only in 2021.
