Fiorio on "cash over cap" contracts (Brady and Brees contracts are discussed)

A very interesting article:

The simple truth is that each and every dollar spent by a team on a player compensation hits the cap, whether in the current year or in a future year. When the cap was jumping by 10 percent or more per year, that didnt matter much. Now that the cap is creeping, it becomes a bigger problem for cap-strapped teams.
