between management and players. Players will get 59.5% of total revenue.

cash over cap issue is going to be about 2% then there will be an adjustment on thet eams cap.

This has to be ratified and thats the reason for the 72 hour delay

If a team goes cash over cap, then there will be an adjustment on the teams next years cap depending on now much over the CoC % of 2% that they exceeded.

Formula wasnt discussed.

So...for a dummy like me...this tentative agreement for the cash over cap situation is a bad thing for the Redskins?

Simple answer is yes

We have been using the Cash over Cap meathod to have our actual payroll much higher than the ~$92m salary cap for a while.

However..

If the CBA gives the teams a large increase in the salary cap, the effect on the Redskins will be reduced if not negated. :2cents:

Ah, so rather than having to use cash over cap, we would just have a larger salary cap ceiling to work with? I like the sounds of that a little better, thanks.

Well in a perfect world yes. WHo knows what the new cap will be IF the CBA gets ratified.

We've been "creative" with the cap. lets just say that im sure the FO will figure out how to work out the pentalty of the CoC % against the next years salary cap versus the incremetnal increase of the salary cap that happens every year.

Hell this is why they pay capologist the big bucks and im a shmoe behind a computer :laugh:

This "cash over cap" thing is absolutely stupid. In the first year of a big contract, there will be "cash over cap"... but in the following years there is actually "cash under cap"... meaning the money affects the cap, but it's not being paid.

Lets say you have $15 million signing bonus for 5 years contract with $1 M base salary each year.

First year cash out: $16 M, cap hit, $4M = +$12 M "cash hit" over "cap hit"

2nd-5th year cash out: $1 M, cap hit 4 M = -$3 M "cash hit" under "cap hit"

In essence, teams just have to make sure they don't sign a bunch of big name free agents one year.

If the cap is $107 M, it will be interesting to see how many teams actually use all that space.

I don't see why. We are in potential cap trouble precisely because our cap is full of dead money. This is bonuses paid to departed players and previous year salary payments that were converted to bonuses and rolled forward into 2006.

Dead money is not cash for 2006. The Redskins would have to get very busy in free agency to come anywhere near spending as much cash as their cap figure, much less go over.

The Arrington deal reduces our cash outlay by another $7M because he doesn't get his July bonus or his salary. All of Arrington's remaining 2006 cap hit is now non-cash dead money. An open question is whether the $4.2M repayment counts as negative cash for accounting purposes. Logically it should but who knows what the rules will say.

It will only be ratified if the owners can agree to revenue sharing, or there is no deal. It is now on the owners.
