I’d not thought of it like that. In NFL (yes I know it is a salary cap, thanks) you still get cap hits even if you let people go.
Aren’t you allowed to keep some people,out of your budget cap?
But why would someone help them? Was it beneficial to him? I hope so.
The main reason for commenting is that it is interesting that it is something to consider in cap world. Unless you’re just off junction 13 of the M1.
