    Q:Why is there a salary cap? A:It prevents a team from buying a championship team. Some teams have more money and this prevents them from buying every great player.

    This is so interesting 🤔🤔im glad they asked this question.
  • This segment is exhibit A when answering the question: why do players need agents? 🤣

    FYI, 49ERS just lost a draft pick and had a couple more "demoted" to later rounds for making a "payroll error".

    "Nah they don't have fans"- Travis on the Milwaukee bucks 😂🤣

    The NFL's cap is a hard cap that the teams have to stay under at all times, and the salary floor is also a hard floor. Penalties for violating or circumventing the cap regulations can include fines of up to $5 million for each violation, cancellation of contracts and loss of draft picks.

  • @kwirl
    Going over the cap costs fines, loss of draft picks, potential voiding of contracts that triggered the occurrence, and a reduction of salary cap in future years
  • @calvouts
    Definitely not a stupid question! I'm still trying to figure it out😅❤

    Salary cap is a set budget for player salaries on each team each year.
