Introduction
In the National Football League, teams are required to keep their spending under a salary cap. The salary cap is a limit on the total amount of money that a team can spend on player salaries. It is calculated as a percentage of the league’s total revenue.
The NFL has a hard salary cap, which means that there is no room for error. If a team goes over the salary cap, they are subject to severe penalties, including loss of draft picks and fines.
