With a new collective bargaining agreement in place, the league has now set the salary cap for the 2020 season. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, teams have been told the 2020 salary cap has been set at $198.2 million.
The NFL Management Council just informed team officials the salary cap will be $198.2 million per club in 2020, per sources.

That is an increase of exactly $10 million, as the 2019 cap was set at $188.2 million. It marks the seventh straight season in which the cap has increased by at least $10 million, but it is the smallest percentage increase — by 5.3% — since 2013.
