Chris Whalen’s Random Life

As more and more comes out from the deal, I wanted to make a quick clarification on the spending minimum for the NFL cap. Unlike I what I had previously thought, teams do not have to spend 99% of the $120MM cap as a spending floor for 2011 and 2012. But the league average as to be 99% ($118.8MM). So teams like the Eagles that are up to $125MM so far offset teams like the Bengals (who I think are at around $90MM right now). The 90% of the cap floor kicks in in 2013 I believe.
