Re: What’s up with the cap?
I thought you could in trade scenarios as long as you came into cap compliance in a certain timeframe, but maybe I'm reading this wrong or this doesn't exist in the new CBA.
From RSR article "The short answer is that teams can’t because the league approves all contracts and would not approve a contract that would result in a team going over the Cap. If a team were to go over the Cap because of the acceleration of unaccounted-for bonus pro-rations due to the trade or release of a player, the CBA mandates that the team has 7 days to come into Cap compliance. That would mean that the team would have to find a way – likely via the restructure or release of another player – to come into Cap compliance."

Re: What’s up with the cap?
This is MOSTLY true - but there is a specific set of circumstances where it it possible: If a team trades or releases a player currently under contract, causing previously-paid bonuses to accelerate against the cap, and this pushes the team over the limit, the team can stay over the cap for up to 7 days before it has to get back into compliance.
That is immaterial for this discussion, though. We are currently under the cap, because we have to be, regardless of what Spotrac or Overthecap might say."Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but NOT to their own facts" - Daniel P. Moynihan

Is this tweet from Brian inaccurate then (emphasis mine)?

edit: Brian confirmed last night that the $2.8m does not include the $4m grievance money: https://twitter.com/RavensSalaryCap/...83745688346626 seemingly because neither the NFL or NFLPA have applied it to their calculationsShared Google Folder with Ravens spreadsheets, nextGen charts, and more!

Re: What’s up with the cap?
Is a Peters restructure a good idea? Probably whole different thread. But it's the only thing I see us really doing at this point if we make another move

Re: What’s up with the cap?
While it’s never a “good idea”, It’s not a bad idea. We’d rather not, as it’s a very flat contract, but restructuring only makes it a more normal contract structure for a guy we like and should be nonissue to keep for a few years.
