One thing that occurred to me today as that I actually have no idea how the cap is enforced.
Say a team is currently $5mil over the cap. March 10th hits and they are still over. What happens? Does the NFL start voiding contracts until the team is under (and if so, how are those chosen)? Is the team forbidden from completing any player transactions? Are they fined? What stops a team from intentionally going over the cap temporarily to continue to hold onto players (that they might otherwise cut to get under the cap) in order to buy time to work out some other contract?
I assume capmaster @Miguel knows all
