New CBA agreement

[F Gump]

Thanks for sharing that summary.

I would add that some of those restrictions apply to being over Apron 1 as well, including the 110% limit. The 110 goes to 100 at the end of this coming season, applicable to Apron 1 as well as 2. The loss of TEs at the end of a season applies to both as well.

The new rules as known are written in clunky verbiage, which Marks reflects, but the concept to understand is that by the end of this coming season they are doing their best to make it impossible for Apron 2 teams to add salary except by pick or re-sign your own or minimums. Trades require less salary coming back, not only overall, but also in relation to each player sent out. And Apron 2 teams can't do ANY sign and trade, period, either coming or going, so if you don't sign your own FA, you can't use him to get talent back.
