If the split is 50/50 then set the cap to where it would be (about $61.5M I think) then every team has to get under that before the season starts. Allow an amnesty buy out (100% value and immediately UFA). The bought out players are "whole" they got 100% of their money. The retained players are whole in that there is no roll back and they are all under the cap. Done. On Contracting: Unplayed years after the 5th of a contract count against the cap always. So if a player has a 10 year deal an retires on year 3 the cap hit lingers for the next five years. If they retire on year 7 it lingers for 3 additional years. The added cap hit counts even if they are on the IR. Or get rid of averaging and the cap hit is the dollar value that year. Either of these fix backdiving cap circumvention. “Make Whole” is easy.
