What exactly do they do you if you dont get under the cap? Throw you in football jail? Not let you compete? I mean how would that work if we were just to say, "you know what, were good"?

you can't. the NFL has to sign off on every contract i believe, so you couldn't sign anyone else and i guess they could DQ you from every game until you're under the cap if they wanted...

The Broncos were over the cap either last year or this year, and I seem to remember them only having to forfeit a second or third round pick. If I recall, some people in the media were upset that the penalty was not more severe. Does anyone else remember this?

Indeed I do. The punishment was BS.
