It does really except for forced retirements. This is because it is too easy to game. Backend a contract heavily, get the player cheap for a few years, win flags, then ‘retire’ them outside of the cap, rinse and repeat.
Stoked about our 2 first rounders 🔫 🔫. Don’t like that we couldn’t manage to get/keep a late third/early fourth round pick for 100-150 points and have ~20 more (nominally better) players to choose from rather than scraps at free pick 79.
But in JT we trust.
