First, Robert and Lindsay break down the overall financial landscape, and realities of a depressed salary cap, heading into the free agency period, and how some of the uncertainty about the cap will impact players and teams heading into the 2021 season.
Then, Lindsay is joined by Assistant Executive Director of External Affairs for the NFLPA, George Atallah, to discuss how the 2021 TV deals will affect next season’s salary cap, and its potential impact on free agency, the biggest takeaways and lessons learned from the 2020 pandemic season, players’ top priorities in the next CBA, what role vaccines could play in the 2021 season, if players could have more of a formal role in teams’ hiring processes, and more.
