Salary cap rule changes for 2020

[SunsetBengal]

I like the modifications in the idea that it stops the practice of teams exploiting weaknesses in the cap rules to in effect spend more than the spirit of the cap permits. For example, signing players to large contracts with huge signing bonuses and "voidable" years. I'm also big on the change of teams having to account for all incentives in contracts, the same year.

Those who have been football fans for several decades know that periodically, the NFL changes things in the best interest of parity. They would like to see every team have an equal opportunity to rise to the top and perhaps win a Championship. For some number of years, some teams have been exploiting "loopholes" in the salary cap rules

I have a feeling that these new salary cap rules will have a profound impact on how free agency is handled across the league, this upcoming season.
