Well, they do have to spend to the salary floor. Don't engender what that is or how much it is this year, but if they have any leftover after reaching the floor, they get that much extra the next year.

It's a way to make sure the NFL player pool as a whole get all of the money coming to them. So teams can no longer do what KC did under Pioli and be 30-40mil under cap.
