Dear NFL, if you’re listening…
Whoever at the NFL offices that this might reach, can you guys please figure out the salary cap situation already?
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the salary cap for next season was projected to drop and the league and players association agreed to a cap floor of $175M, meaning it will not go lower than that. Most recently, reports indicate that it might be as high as $185 million… then another report says $180M.
These couple of million make a big difference. It could decide between choosing between two players. Not only that, the Bills are right on the fence of either being over or under the cap as Spotrac reports the Bills would be $3.9M under it if it’s set at $185M.
Typically the NFL sees the cap raised by a few million each year and teams can bank on that. Not thanks to COVID.
So many decisions hinge on this and the league and players association have to get their act together. Some speculate this might not be figured out until only days before free agency begins on March 15.
It still might potentially take a month to get this number? C’mon people…
A molehill, not a mountain
Thanks to Allen’s emergence this past season, most observers of the Bills knew the team would have things… a little easier for them this offseason. They have their face of the franchise in place while many teams in the NFL do not.
Check that: They have their potential MVP in place while nearly every team does not have that.
Since we last saw the Bills on the field, we got more evidence of this… considering Buffalo’s QB finished second in MVP voting last weekend. What a time to be alive when the Bills have such a guy on their roster?
Not only that, we didn’t even mention the likes of Stefon Diggs here. No wide receiver played better than he could have in that Super Bowl.
Not much of a takeaways but more a thought: The Bills are sitting pretty as we now patiently wait for them to get another crack at at title in 2021.
