I believe that 99% is including all money not counted against the cap. Such as benefit packages, the $3million cap exemption each team gets, bonuses, injury settlements, dead money paid on contracts to cut players. All of it.
As far as an actual cap # is concerned, each teams contracts and bonuses that actually count against the cap, only HAVE to equal 89-90% of the overall cap. I'm also VERY unclear as to whether or not the $3million dollar cap exemption is mandatory, don't know whether or not it must be used every year by every team...
