Let’s just wait and see if Tony will pay the tax first.
That’s past the “first tax”. 110%+ first tax, is into the “second tax”.
The league is saying “we’re going to penalize you for going/staying over, but we’re also going to make it harder for you to get yourself into that situation to begin with”.
The flip side of the coin is that if you are under the floor, not only does that amount go to the players anyway, but you are now not eligible for profit sharing.
Some contracts are going to move around over the next couple of years. Then “the market will reset itself”. 🙂 At that time, the full MLE could be $15M+, the room exemption could come up… That’s just what any/all teams will be offer to whoever, with whatever, that team has, in that year.
