- One bucket - The A-Cap - is for a team's designated top-5 (or some other small number) salaries for that season. A player from any position would be allowed to be reckoned in that bucket, but realistically it would be chiefly QBs, pass rushers, WRs, CBs, and left tackles. Some elites at TE and LB could maybe make into that bucket as well.
- The other bucket - The B Cap - is for the entire rest of the team.
