SCS ULTIMATE PRESS RELEASE
Let's be clear, the salary and contract caps can not be exceeded.
I'd love to be exceeding the salary and contract caps, but our advice has been clear, DO NOT EXCEED THESE CAPS.
I make no apologies. That's been the plan, that's been the expectation and that's been the explanation.
I just want to remind drafters who are thinking that this is not serious, these are the very real consequences:
- Quadruple the excess salary will be deducted from the team's salary cap for the following year (2021).
- Contract years must be altered to under the cap. Where that is not possible, quadruple the excess years will be deducted from the team's contract cap for the following year (2021).
- Teams must always remain at or below the salary and contract caps. Therefore, teams will need to trade their way to eligibility before round 1 commences.

“I know it’s easy to think that with such low case numbers of errors, maybe the worst has passed, maybe this is over.
