John Kozel asks: I am curious what happens to the dollars that are “dead money” on the salary cap. I assume that portion of the cap is not available to pay a player so it takes potential earnings out of the pot of cash. If so, why isn’t the NFLPA up in arms that bad team management takes money off the table?
Hoping you can tell me what I’m missing? Thanks.
Ed says: John, if I am reading your question correctly you are concerned that “dead money” is money that is never spent by a team, thus never being transferred to players.
