Ironically, this is actually going to help save us from falling below the cap floor later in the season. All salary counts against your cap. But LTIR allows a team to exceed the cap if necessary. In our case, the extra salary we are paying by having all the kids from Addy up is driving our overall payroll higher and giving us space between the floor and what we are actually paying. That will be useful at the deadline if we fall out of the playoff race and trade higher priced vets for prospects or picks.
