I understand that the salary cap protects teams from having to spend a boatload on players, but say there's a free agent that a team really wants, they just have no salary cap space.
Would it be against league rules to find other ways to pay that player? Other ways like having him appear in commercials or at events or having him have his own product that the team sells and then gives him the proceeds? If the team owns a separate company, could it have the company pay the player?
I realize that this would be unethical, but would it be illegal in terms of league salary cap rules?
Why don't teams do it if it's not illegal? Or do they do it?
