Earlier today, the NFL Players Association announced (via Twitter) the amounts carried over from the salary cap for all 32 NFL teams for the 2021 season. In effect, teams are able to roll over their unused limit from the previous season. Thus, when the 2021 salary cap numbers become official, they can be added to the remaining amount of each team to determine that individual club’s official cap for 2021.
This follows the news from earlier today that the NFL increased its salary cap to $ 180 million for 2021. This total may give us a clue to the maximum salary cap, which could end up falling north of $ 190 million. The salary cap was $ 198.2 million for the 2020 campaign.
As detailed by the NFLPA, the league will accumulate $ 315.1 million as of the 2020 season, an average of $ 9.8 million per team. The Browns lead the league with an incredible $ 30.4 million and are the only team in the top five to reach the playoffs. NFC East ($ 68.8MM) and AFC East ($ 65.3MM) are the two divisions with the largest amounts carried over.
