$175 million in 2021. Can those on this board more informed on the subject, explain HOW the league can do this? I would think the NFLPA would be up in arms, Teams would be screwed with existing contracts already structured to include and INCREASE and even individual players being outspoken as there will be more player cuts and I believe, a move to younger and less talented players. It changes my assumptions about the Giants keeping Solder, Zeitler, Tate, Engram and a number of lower priced players. Their ability to keep BOTH Tomlinson and Williams went out the window, in my thinking. Am I missing something or misunderstanding the salary cap increase?

and the league agreed not to drop it lower than 175 million.
I'm assuming its all due to the Pandemic and lack of attendance at stadiums? I truly thought that the VAST Majority of NFL revenue came from areas other than their arenas, more precisely, television, apparel and other team branded sales. I figured 10 games a season wasn't a whole ton of money when compared to television rights.

That's true, which is why the vast majority of the cap is still intact. You act like most if it went bye bye, when in fact most of it stayed. Over 88% of the cap kept IS the vast majority
