Proposed payroll minimum of $100 million per club funded by a 25% tax on payrolls above $180 million. On existing luxury tax structure, proposed raising threshold to $214 million in 2022, rising to $220 million in final season.

The current rules have three luxury-tax tiers that include steeper penalties the higher a team's payroll climbs. The first tier takes effect at $210 million, with a 20% tax. The new proposal would reportedly keep the three tiers intact, and add a fourth, lower tier that begins at $180 million with a 25% tax. The penalties would increase from there with each tier.

Nope.
And that's pretty much a salary cap.
