Titans’ projected salary cap rollover for 2021 revealed

While the official 2021 salary cap number has yet to be revealed, we do know how much money the Tennessee Titans will be rolling over for the 2021 season.

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Titans are estimated to have about $2.3 million in salary cap rollover. He also notes that “the NFL will audit these amounts after calculating incentives and cap credits from this year.”

As far as the rest of the AFC South goes, the Jacksonville Jaguars ($23.4 million) have the most rollover, followed by the Houston Texans ($9.1 million) and Indianapolis Colts ($8.3 million).

The largest rollover number in the NFL goes to the Cleveland Browns at $30.3 million, while the Baltimore Ravens register the lowest at roughly $586,000.

As we already mentioned, the big question left to be answered is, exactly how much will teams have to spend in 2021?

Because of lost revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we could see a decrease to as low as $175 million, which is a shade over $23 million less than where the 2020 salary cap was. The best-case scenario would be the salary cap simply staying the same.

Either way, Titans general manager Jon Robinson will have his work cut out for him, as the team has 27 players set to his free agency, and a handful of them are important pieces.
