Teams are abusing this too much for injuries that are all but certainly less than serious & long term. You're not fooling anybody that it just HAPPENS to be the albatross that is handcuffing your cap situation.

While I agree the fact is that a league rep is in no position to tell someone else how much pain they are in and whether they feel capable of playing.
I think the only reasonable solution is to limit the amount of additional salary to 950K (so that teams aren't forced to roster less players). And make a new class of buyouts for injured players.
