The league will be getting repaid the overpayment by keeping the increases to the cap artificially low for the next few years.

The players who signed long-term deals prior to COVID are going to be okay, but the guys whose contracts are expiring in the COVID aftermath are bearing the brunt.

It’s the bottom of the roster players that are bearing the entire brunt. The star players seem to be getting their money no problem.
