NFL to raise salary cap by nearly $8 million in 2020

The NFL announced they will be raising the salary cap for each team by approximately $8 million in 2020 and could reach as high $201 million.

The National Football League announced today that they will be raising the salary cap next season by approximately $8 million from $188.2 million to a range between $196.8 million to $201.2 million.

That is good news to team who will find themselves “cap-strapped” next season. The Giants are not one of those teams.

The Giants are currently about $2 million under the cap but are expected to be approximately $63 million plus whatever increase the league grants and any other housekeeping they might do on top of their expiring contracts.
