The NFL informed clubs today that projections for the 2020 salary cap are in the range of $196.8 million to $201.2 million. This marks a 40% increase from five years ago in the 2015 season ($143.3 million).

This puts the Vikings in a better position than we originally thought, but then again, the cap going up about $10 million isn’t much of a surprise.
Right now, per Over The Cap, the Vikings have -$1.525 million in 2020 with the new projections. That’s not great, obviously, but chances are we’ll see some restructured contracts (Xavier Rhodes, Everson Griffen and Riley Reiff are candidates before the 2020 season starts.
