After one week of free agency, a team-by-team look at cap space available

I think they outlawed the poison pill contract tactic. They now look at the overall contract and assign some sort of average value to it.

Mickey has this covered.

Well, looking at the list, technically 20 or so teams could take on his contract, ...but realistically, let's say we match anything under 10 a year, and now it's 13 teams in the market... those teams at 15 or 16 million left probably can't commit 65% of that to one player, so really you are talking about 7-8 teams
Oh yeah, plus that two number 1's thing

We'll sign him, or he can play under the tag for another year, at a 1500% increase over last year

The Poison Pill is a huge part of the reason that the contract has to be forwarded to the league and be reviewed before it is executed.
