NFL sets salary cap at $198.2 million for 2020 season

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.

The Cleveland Browns currently project to have about $65.3 million in cap room at the start of the new league year. Free agency is still scheduled to begin this week, with the “legal tampering” period kicking off on Monday and player signings starting on Wednesday.
