Most NFL team's salary cap carries dead/bad contracts and restructured long-term contracts to get them to the ceiling. Now some NHL teams have "weaponized" their salary cap to gain high draft picks and blue chip prospects like Arizona and Detroit.Green Bay wouldn't exist without the salary Cap, revenue sharing and the expensive concession prices for beer and hot dogs. Again, teams donâ€™t need to be at the ceiling of the cap. Thatâ€™s not true. Revenue sharing is definitely a great tool to help smaller markets, but itâ€™s a different matter and has nothing to do with a salary cap.
