I believe the idea is to create some parity between teams so that no super rich owners can spend a limitless amount of money on salaries while teams with less wealth can't keep up. The cap is determined each year by the NFL. As for cap space these are some good websites for seeing how much cap space teams have with breakdowns of how much each contract costs. I think they update it rather quickly when players are signed or cut etc.

As for all the details and maneuvering around it. I don't know much about that. I know teams have restructured contracts of players to create more cap space and that's about the extent of my knowledge of how it can be somewhat manipulated. There are a lot of rules about contracts and how they work with the cap that I somewhat understand but don't know enough to answer your questions accurately. It does indeed seem to be a rather complicated formula. I'm sure some others here will gladly give more info. :)
Thanks for your input, George.
