Next year is even more critical than this year. The 2021 cap is projected at 175M, down nearly 33M due to revenue loss.
They have 36 players under contract next year.
Spending 198M this year on a 208 M Cap
Teams are going to struggle mightily getting under the cap
This is good for teams like the Bengals because there should be less competition for prime FAs
Teams may have to cut mid-high priced players to get under the new number
Prime Cut Candidates:
Dunlap
Gio
Uzomah
Hart
Those alone free up 25M
AJ Green saves another 18
198-43 = Get Bengals to 155
