The NFLPA’s approval of the CBA has many ripple effects. One of those is setting the salary cap for all 32 NFL teams for the 2020 season.
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL.com, the cap will be $198.2 million for every team. That is slightly below earlier estimates, which had placed the potential cap in the $200-$205 million range. The figure represents just a 5.3 percent increase over 2019, the smallest year-to-year bump since the 2013 season.
It does not include any cap carryover from prior years. The Lions project to have a little over $50 million in cap room as free agency starts, factoring in the recent release of right tackle Rick Wagner.
