Don't be surprised if teams, especially smaller market teams like the Bengals, pull back a little. I think some of the extensions we are trying to get done may look a little different than usual. Potentially more roster bonuses in later years that push some of the money later after this. With that in mind, I kind of wonder if they already regret spending as much as they did and doubt they add any more outside free agent with the financial outlook being so uncertain.

I was looking at an article on CBS Sports that estimated that a season without fans in the stadiums, the league would lose an average of $70M per team in gate receipts alone.  $70M x 32 teams = $2.24B, and that's not counting any sponsorship, merchandise, advertising, or any of the potential losses of every business that generally receive from sporting event attendees.
