there's no hard and fast rule and it hasn't happened yet.I thought that if revenues go down the salary cap goes down. So the player pool goes down. I don’t know how player contracts work but if revenue goes down let’s say 10 percent. Player salaries go down 4%. Owners absorb the rest.
they can and likely would agree to split any shortfall over multiple seasons.
worst case projections are for 30% reduction. they almost certainly wouldn't drop cap by 30%
BUT, some teams have leveraged 2021 ALREADY and expected 6% growth.
Those teams are gonna feel it.
See Philly and Saints... --Saints could just go really cheap at QB for the year.
