Re: What happens if teams are not in compliance by March 2 with the salary cap?

An interview with Atlanta Falcons Director of Football Administration Brian Xanders

www.dennisahmer.com - ...About the salary cap

Quote:
"By the first day of the new league year (which this year it's March 2) we have to be in compliance," Xanders said. "Our salary cap has to be under $78.7 million. If you're not in compliance by March 2, you have seven days to be."

And if you're not in compliance after those seven days?

"The last contracts that you signed players to automatically become void and those players become free agents until your charges do come under the cap," Xanders replied. "But that's never happened."

"It's different from the NBA where, if you go over, you have to pay a luxury tax," Beadles echoed. "In the NFL, if you're over the salary cap, then they start making contracts void.

"If you don't decide which players you don't want on your roster, the league will."

At the rate the salary cap is growing. Probably last year. The year before that it was 40 million
