[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 779302"] Dallas and Washington got in trouble over the uncapped 2010 season. That prior CBA had no cap for 2010 which, as an aside, accrued to the Packers advantage that season taking on one of the highest player expense totals in the league, second highest if memory serves. Despite that year being uncapped, the league had some rules in place to prevent rich teams going wild and abusing the core principle of "competitive balance". Dallas and Washington violated those rules and got fined. I think we've gone over this before. I always wondered how the Packers avoided that fate. It may have been because of the very high number of IR players that year with the additional cost of replacements being an exemption or some other arcane consideration. Today, mechanisms are in place to make it impossible to go over the cap once the league year starts. From the start of the league year, ususally in early March, up to final cut downs just before opening day, the top 51 players must be under the team's cap. From opening day to the end of the season, a team's 53 man roster, PS, PUP and IR players, and any dead cap, i.e., everybody, must come in under the team cap. The league office approves all contracts. If a contract puts a team over the cap during the league year that contract will not be approved. Everybody by definition must be under their cap during the league year. Now, Philly is some $30 mil over the cap for 2019. That's OK because it's outside the current league year. Their 2019 cap obligations will have to be reduced to an amount under their 2019 cap space by the start of the league year next March. Period. Now, I imagine through some incompetence Philly could be slow-footed in cutting the guys needed to get under that 2019 cap space in time for the start of the 2019 league year. The league is not going pick players to be cut to get them under the required amount. Then a fine would be in order, money or picks or whatever the CBA calls for. This doesn't happen. [/QUOTE]
