That's not as low as you may think, that was about the salary cap back in just 2019 and is higher than the 2018 salary cap.

2018 - $177.2 mill
2019 - $188.2 mill

so I will explain it to you.  People want their market value and that's based on the year prior.  For example, do you think Dak Prescott is gonna wanna take a discount because people have a more limited cap?  it's not the way it works.  Lawson is gonna wanna be paid as a top edge rusher in this free-agent class, but when only 7 teams project to have any cap space at all, this year's payouts and signing bonuses will be less than what typically would happen. pre covid the cap woulda probably been in the 210 range this year, now its gonna be 185?  25 million dollars off the top of the cap is a huge deal.

So like I said it could happen but I expect there to be a lot of backloaded contracts with more guaranteed money and that's scary for a lot of teams
