But just because the floor is close to the cap doesn't mean deadcap is limited to the difference. Signing bonuses don't all hit the cap in the current year, they are allocated to future seasons.

It's entirely possible to pay out $140 million in cash in a given year, and at the same tiem have a cap number less than $120 million.

Ok, thats what was confusing me. I thought that if we got above 12 million in dead cap we wouldnt be able reach the cap floor. Thats the way that it seemed to read to me when I was looking at different articles.

But im assuming owners want to be between the cap floor and max cap every season and not being paying the max plus extra millions in dead cap salaries.
