Oh really? :leon:

Teams also put crazy incentives in contracts or make dudes have insane cap numbers for a year as well.

I think I am wrong on this. I am just going over old articles now. 2013 was the deadline for the 89% threshold, but my understanding is that it is a 3 year rolling average. I have honestly confused myself on this.

Raiders got $67 million in cap space. You all need to spend a minimum of 89% of the cap of $133 million which is like $119 million.

Bra, I asked for the break down on this issue on a Pats board. This is what I got.

(This was all apart of one post)

The CBA on the Issue..

Section 9. Minimum Team Cash Spending:
(a) For each of the following four-League Year periods, 2013–2016 and 2017–2020, there shall be a guaranteed Minimum Team Cash Spending of 89% of the Salary Caps for such periods (e.g., if the Salary Caps for the 2013–16 and 2017–2020 are $100, 120, 130, and 150 million, respectively, each Club shall have a Minimum Team Cash Spending for that period of $445 million (89% of $500 million))
(b) Any shortfall in the Minimum Team Cash Spending at the end of a League Year in which it is applicable (i.e., the 2016 and 2020 League Years) shall be paid, on or before the next September 15, by the Team having such shortfall, directly to the players who were on such a Team’s roster at any time during the applicable seasons, pursuant to the reasonable allocation instructions of the NFLPA.

The break down from the poster for me. And I asked for the dummies version...

Note that this is cash spending, i.e., the money actually paid out, independent of the actual salary cap hit. In other words, if the total salary cap from 2013 to 2016 is $500 million, the total cash paid to players by each team from the beginning of the 2013 league year to the end of the 2016 league year must be at least 89% x $500 million = $445 million.

If teams fail to do this, then the difference gets paid out to the players on the team during that time span.
