Eight player opt-outs, which removes a player's salary and bonus proration from the salary cap. Cap credits for salary settlements with the estate of Aaron Hernandez (2.55million) and Antonio Brown (4 million).

Here is an example (not mine) of how opt outs affected the cap: "If a player has a $15M base salary, $5M in bonus proration, a $3M March roster bonus, and a $500,000 workout bonus, his cap charge should change from $23.5M to $8.5 million for 2020. Those savings can either be rolled over into 2021 or spent on signing free agents this summer."

For instance, the Giant will get a 16million cap credit for Nate Solder opting out. If they cut him this season, it's 13 million in dead cap since his contract is still tolling.
