Question for more advanced CAP individuals
Posted on 1/7/24 at 3:06 pm

Why isn’t CAP relieved completely when trading players? I understand that it’s not, but wondering what issue or work around came about that led to the current structure. To me, you take a player, you take the contract?

There are maneuvers you can do to spread out your cap hit. Most of those things end up loading you with dead money. It is so you don't spread out payments to "hide" money from your cap dollars. At least that is my simplified understanding.

to some extent they do, but any guaranteed money is not part of the trade, so that must still be paid to them and it gets counted as part of your cap.
the saints specialty, extending contracts, is the reason we cannnot get rid of players, because we have to pay them even if they are released or traded
