Twitter: Teams make a mockery of the salary cap

[Uncle_Hank]

he wont hes stubborn and that guy who is right 100% of the time no matter what.. thi thread was useless anyway as it hasn't applied nor will apply to the DC for very long time..not sure what the point was so ill say it was pointless..

teams have the cap issues all covered as they employ an army of lawyers and CPAs who have the knowledge , ie inside knowledge of their team and the nfl cap rules..billionaires are as smart as those they employee.. they got this 100% covered..

Right? I'd hate to see some of these guys try to do their taxes by themselves. They might come to the conclusion that taxes don't matter and don't have to be paid.

lol you really don't though. Who on the Cowboys is retiring? What does a June 1st accounting trick for a retired player have to do with anyone under contract for the Dallas Cowboys? That's right, absolutely nothing.

Again you have no idea of

And this is somehow proof, despite having absolutely nothing to do with Dak's contract situation? Just say you don't know what you're talking about and move on.

Again, you're ignorant **, you can't comprehend what the thread is about, you step in something you have no clue about and can't except that fact. Maybe you should sit this one out rookie...lol

All you have are insults because you realize how absolutely silly you look right now. Here's a quick salary cap primer so you don't sound like a clown in the future:

Salary Cap for Dummies (aka Dre11)

There are three main components to a player's contract that affect his salary cap hit -- salary, bonuses, and incentives.

Bonuses can represent a one time hit (such as a roster bonus) or can be prorated across the duration of the contract, including "fake" voidable years (such as a signing bonus). These can't really be manipulated. A $10M signing bonus will prorate to $2M/year over a 5-year contract. Not much you can do there.

Incentives can be manipulated based on a variety of factors. Cam Newton only cost about $1M against the salary cap for the Patriots because of the way his contract was structured and the fact that he hadn't been a starter the year before, making his incentives Not Likely to Be Earned. There was at least one other player signed to a similar deal last season, but I can't remember who offhand.

Salary can be either guaranteed or non-guaranteed, which essentially determines how severe the cap implications are for cutting or trading the player. Salary can be converted to bonus, at which point it works as described earlier. You can borrow from future years by spreading it out over the remaining duration of the contract, but that's about it. It's rare for a player to take a pay cut unless his agent doesn't believe he can make more on the open market if he gets released.

What Brees did was agree to a future pay cut for next season since he won't be there anyway. This allows the Saints to absorb his contract through the summer and make him a June 1 designation. That trick does not allow you to acquire players -- it makes it cheaper to get rid fo them. It has nothing to do with signing Dak Prescott or anyone else, as you have wrongly suggested.

lol...what a freaking idiot, Again sit this one out rookie, Comprehension for dummies at your neighborhood Borders...THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BREES AND WHAT HE DID. ITS AN EXAMPLE THAT TEAMS CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH THE SALARY CAP TO GAIN SALARY CAP SPACE or REDUCE CAP HIT TO AQUIRE ANY PLAYER THEY WANT. WHAT PART OF THAT CAN'T YOU PROCESS? DUMMY
