Summary

Jake and Ryan discuss the impact of the finalized salary cap at $182.5M as teams frenetically manuever cap dollars into future years and try to find ways to compete in 2021. We also discuss the extraordinary contract the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave Lavonte David and the signal it sends the rest of the NFL, and cap casualties saturating the market at some positions that looked barren in free agency a few weeks ago. The NFL also announced compensatory picks on Wednesday, and the newly-awarded minority coach compensation has a noticeable impact. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
