CUTTING SALARIES: This is one of those rules that's just been around and we don't really talk about it, but...teams are able to cut up to $10m in the total contract value of someone's deal per year. So you can't drop a guy who makes more than that or else you'll be charged back for the difference. But you can cut up to $10m in money owed over the life of deals.

So if you owe some guy $5m over two years, you could drop him and someone else with the $10m left, but if you owe him $48m over two years, you'd be charged back for $28m of it immediately.

This clause is independent of the amnesty clause for new owners and is lowered from the original $20m, to now be $10m.
