Once again, you don't KNOW that will happen. Like I said, owners have lost a lot of money and the cap is going to be lower. I'm not a mathematician but I know 2 plus 2 equals 4.
They're gonna work out something with the cap, trust me.
Doesn't change the loss in revenue and owners not wanting to spend as much.

It will be interesting especially in the MLB where they make most of their money off of attendance and have less TV revenue. The fear of revenue loss didn't scare away the Cards from signing Deandre Hopkins to a record deal though and even the McCaskey's didnt mind extending Cohen during the season. I believe owners make so incredibly much off appreciation of their clubs that concern over revenue loss is just a bargaining tactic.. and maybe you are referring to changes in the cap. I foresee a fight with the players union but ultimately it will carry on biz as usual (though possibly no fans in stands in 2021). That's just my guess.

The trade happened in March before all this really went down, and the extension doesn't impact his salary really next year. He's got a 12.5 million dollar cap hit in 2021. Arizona better hope things get back to normal for 2022 and after though....because Hopkins cap hits go up to $25, $27, and $22.6 mill respectfully in the years following. Thats a lot of cap for 1 receiver.

That's exactly the point. I saw a graphic (wish i could recall where) that showed like 60% of the league would be over the cap if it went down to the expected number. And I don't mean a few millions bucks over. I mean WAYYYYYYY over.
There's no way that's gonna happen in practicality. There would have to mass vet salary dumps and cuts. It would also put major downward pressure on salaries going forward. No way the NFL owners are gonna get away with imposing that kind of labor unrest right before a new CBA is supposed to be negotiated. The NFLPA will be able to rightfully argue that the players held up their end and played despite the risk.
There will be some sort of compromise that allows teams to mitigate or spread out any decreases in the overall cap going forward.

The cap number can be whatever the cap number is...owners still have to be willing to spend up to it. We'll see how many are willing.

Well I never claimed to be a math surgeon. They complicate these things so we cant see how much they really make. It is so convoluted. But you can bet ownerships make some damn good money otherwise they wouldnt spend millions on attorneys/analysts nor would they be climbing over each other to buy the next available franchise (see Arod & NY Mets). Virginia's appreciation on the Bears is through the frigging roof. It has made the family billions! I am sure they will write off huge losses this year and be able to get away without paying taxes for years. The IRS never audits billionaires, they have to much $$ to fight them. They go after people making under $100k cause they know they wont put up a fight! I better stop before this gets WAY off topic! 😁

LOL...you're not wrong...but I'll just remind you, there's a reason why rich people are rich, and it's not because they piss money away. You can bet a lot of these owners won't be slinging the cash around this off season...especially the one's who's sole means of income is from their owning the team.
They're gonna work out something with the cap, trust me.

I'm sure owners want to spend as little as possible but they have to have buy-in from the NFLPA and they aren't going to go along quietly with a huge cap decrease when the players played despite Covid this year. Especially with a new CBA negotiation looming.

Something will get worked out.
I have very little faith in the NFLPA...they've shown their weakness time and time again. We'll see how it shakes out.
