    How does that impact the cap? I thought I’d seen something about Rodgers going down last year not really hitting the cap because of insurance

        From what I understand, the insurance is against the cap. Haslam does still have to pay Watson’s salary, but the team gets a cap credit next year for the amount they insured. I think how much Haslam pays for the insurance premium may go against the cap, but it’s hard to nail down solid info about this stuff.
