Share of the cap, season by season
The contract as the cap moves
Three lines: the share in the season it was signed (dotted), the share the cap was expected to leave it (dashed: the cap announced on the signing date, grown 3.5% a year), and the share as the cap actually was or is announced (solid). The shaded band is where the share lands if the cap follows the fan.
Against a 3.5% expectation, this deal over 1 season with a cap on file.
