i agree with you but i heard something interesting a while ago. there is a minimum salary cap now (70 something mill?). teams have to spend atleast the min in salary to players.
the bucs this past offseason were well below the min cap number. so they gave two of their lowest paid players an incentive bonus contract to bump them up and within the min salary cap requirement.
guess what the bonus incentives called four? something ridiculus like 12 blocked kicks this season.
probably not super relevant but i found that interesting.
