The cap will be affected by lost gate revenues. Broadcast revenues are expected to be up, but not by enough to offset the losses of ticket sales and concessions, etc. So, yes, new contracts will be at lower levels for all but a handful of superstars. They'll still get theirs so the rank and file will take the hit in the short term. With NFL remaining the top rated shows on broadcast television the new network contracts are expected to set new records again this Spring, but it'll most likely be a couple of years before total revenues climb back to last year's record setting numbers.
