TDL days would be quiet as all get out.

I don't know how the exact math would work, but basically, they could give teams credit for the days they were under the cap during the season. It could be similar to the number that CapFriendly shows for "Deadline Cap Space", i.e., the amount of cap hit a team could add at the deadline and still be cap compliant. The only difference would be the exclusion of LTIR in that calculation.
Each team's playoff cap would be based on that number, so a team who used their cap space well would have more room in the playoffs and a team that abused LTIR would not.
