I am trying to do some rough math here

Because unless there’s a “pandemic clause” in the contract, owners have to pay as long as the seasons actually happen. You can’t sign someone to a contract and just not pay them because you aren’t making as much $ as you used to. The owners take the risk of losing $, not the employee. Just like any other business.

force majeure - is a contract provision that relieves the parties from performing their contractual obligations when certain circumstances beyond their control arise, making performance inadvisable, commercially impracticable, illegal, or impossible.

I have never seen a contract of any significance which didn't include a force majeure clause. Global pandemic would certainly qualify.

I really wouldn't worry about all this, and I dont think Dallas is in awful shape up against where some others may be.

Neither the players or owners want a situation where they need to cut some of their best players, and have it where other teams couldnt sign them either.

This can easily be worked out and will be

If that is the case, and the cap is only reduced by $14,000 overall. Then it is not as bad as many may think.
So the 70% cut is on the yearly increase then? I thought it was a $70 million cut from other threads.

So which is it. Cap gurus's ?
Cap reduction of only 14,000,, where is that number coming from?
40 million I believe is correct.
