Instead of quoting someone else, you could just simple go..well this violates this rule. Case close. And that's all, but once upon a time people thought the world was flat and that an innovative idea that the world was round could be considered crazy or idiotic. Revolution and out of the box thinking helps.
Lol you cannot trade a negative. You're trading a non-existant entity. A team is given a salary cap they are not allowed to exceed, at no time can the teams total salaries go over the SALARY CAP. BTW, GML or NFL the Jets are still a joke.
what happened to those Chris Long negotiations... I'll send you one of his dirty jock straps so you can strain your next beer thru it. Deal?
I don't think GIK was expecting fierce competition on Smith. I love my offensive linemen (duh I want Warmack at 12 lol) so I kept all that cap room purely for the OL lol.
anyway, as for schisno's nonsense: The carryover is treated as a post-facto credit, by the way. So, no, your trade isn't valid under the CBA. The CBA is pretty much "what's allowed" and if it's not on there, it's not allowed. /Lawyer'd
I was expecting competition on Smith and wasn't going to be surprised if I was outbid. It's to be determined if we are ready to move on from Smith yet though.
Why did I not interpret the CBA? Because I knew Mach would do it and he understands it better than I.
