SAN DIEGO (AP) — NFL free agency could be a bit less frenetic this year because of an 8% reduction in the salary cap, the result of a drop in revenues due to the coronavirus pandemic. After playing in empty or mostly empty stadiums in 2020, teams knew the drop was coming. While the reduction from $198.2 million to $182.5 million is expected to be a one-season anomaly, teams will nonetheless have to be more careful and economical during free agency, according to some of the game’s top agents. Joe Linta says big-time players are going to get their money, but teams will be a lot more cautious.
