Pelissero noted that there is not currently an agreed to cap floor and that the final cap figure will not be set until next February."

Why is this important now? The GM's and FO's as well as players can make fact based decisions on contracts. This is a hug increase so a team like the Bengals does not have to worry about carry over in 2021 to 2022, so hopefully Bengals are not done with off seasons adds via trade (Ertz) or FA's who may be available after June 1 cuts or training camp cuts.

That's not the way I interpret that.

The way I interpret is the highest they can set the cap is $208.2 mill, but they could decide to go with a lower number (e.g. $200 mill).
Teams will still be able to roll over any unused cap they have in 2021 into 2022 to increase their available cap, as they've always been able to do.
