I'm looking at your salary sheet and I think I'm understanding that under exceptions, a team can use 8.4 million & go over the cap. Is that accurate or am I off? Same question for the BAE. And from there, can that money be split up on multiple players?
Thanks Smitty-it's truly great stuff.
Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated!
You can use the Exception to mover up over the cap. And the Exceptions can be spit up among several players. There differences are with how many years you can sign guys for. the BAE can be used only to sign someone to a one or two year deal. The others are up to four years.
In addition, if you are under the cap, you get the Room Exception. In the case of the Room Exception, you can use all of your available cap space and then use the Room Exception after that.
Hopefully that helped!
