joesz Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Does the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement or Salary Cap prohibit trades that include the exchange of money? You see it all the time in Baseball, Pro Basketball and Hockey (when they are playing) where a player is traded for draft choices, cash, or the trading team agrees to pay part of the salary of the traded player. Instead NFL teams have to eat the amoritized bonus as a hit against their Salary Cap when a player is released or traded. Pro Basketball has a Salary Cap, yet money has been transfered in trades. How to they handle it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
