I haven't heard the numbers, but unless this drastically lowers the bonus money, it's an idea that seems a lot better in theory than in practice.

My point was that it's BS for teams like Florida to do what they did, firesale and get rid of every expensive player they have and then pocket the money from luxury tax/revenue sharing as profit, when that's not what it's intended to be.
