    Thor seems to be right. The minimum payout is not per year.
    (Maybe the articles I'm looking at are all wrong due to using the same source, but then someone would have to point to the right source.)
    https://www.profootballnetwork.com/how-does-nfl-salary-cap-work/

    "Teams must spend at least 89% of the cap over a four-year period, while the NFL as a whole must spend at least 95% of the cap."

    Ha, I went into the CBA to do a double-check with the source material and I was wrong as well. I forgot that after the 2020 season they broke out the subsequent 10 years through 2030 (when the 2020 CBA expires) into three groups: 2021-23, 2024-26, and 2027-30. So we're in a three-year period now, and will switch back to a four-year beginning with 2027.

    Also, they ticked the minimum spend up to 90% beginning with 2021.

    From Article 12 of the CBA:

    Section 9. Minimum Team Cash Spending:
    (a) For the four-League Year period covering the 2017–2020 League Years, there shall be a guaranteed Minimum Team Cash Spending of 89% of the Salary Caps for such period.
    (b) For each of the following multi-League-Year periods 2021–2023 (three League Years), 2024–2026 (three League Years), and 2027–2030 (four League Years), there shall be a guaranteed Minimum Team Cash Spending of 90% of the Salary Caps for such periods. ​

    That article I linked was from this past February, so I wrongly assumed they took the opportunity to fact check instead of regurgitating.
    (This is your chance to send profootballnetwork.com a note reminding them to fix their mistakes.)

    I think we should give all of our cap space to Mason Rudolph so we can start his "4 year Superbowl window".

    Thor is usually right on this side of the ball.
