Broncos get Sanchez from Philly

So the Broncos paid exactly the same as everyone else in the league for their roster, but because they cut some of the checks later they got a competitive advantage? You're messing with me right now aren't you? And I'm falling for it by taking you seriously? Is that what's happening?

and the NFL fined them large amounts of money and took draft picks away for what you describe as an "aw shucks" infraction. Go back to the Mane or wherever you came from
 
Dew Every time you reply to pats cheating. There continue to bring up Denver cheating the salary cap.

Not an "aw shucks" infraction at all, just not a competitive violation. It is a serious issue regarding the relationship between a team and its players. While John and Terrell were in no danger of being cut if they refused, allowing a team to ask players to defer payments opens the door to many different kinds of abuses. Players without such stature could be leveraged into taking deferred payments or risk being cut. The penalty had to be high to prevent this type of infraction, even in the absence of a competitive violation.

How exactly was that NOT a competitive violation? Cheating the salary cap provides more money to other players...:coffee:
 
This set of violations, the league said, was related both to agreements between the team and "several" unidentified players to defer salary payments with interest and to a 1997 agreement between the club and a former player to not waive the player prior to a certain date. "Both types of agreements raised salary cap accounting issues," the league said.

Henderson said of the agreement not to waive the player before a certain date: "That commitment had the effect of converting the player's roster bonus into a guarantee, which affected the timing of the salary cap treatment of a portion of the bonus."
