Wrong

 

They have to spend 89% of the cap over a 4 year period.  No qualifications for a single year

According to the CBA's Article 12, Section 9:

A) For each of the following four-League Year periods, 201 3-201 6 and 2017-2020, there shall be a guaranteed Minimum Team Cash Spending of 89% of theSalary Caps for such periods (e.g., if the Salary Caps for the 2013-1 6 and 2017-2020 are$100, 120, 1 30, and 1 50 million, respectively, each Club shall have a Minimum Team Cash Spending for that period of $445 million (89% of $500 million)).

 

 

If I read this right, the NFL is making a distinction between salary cap and cash outlay.    it may even itself out over the course of 4 years but it seems like teams that gave out big signing bonuses in 2012 would be at a disadvantage.

Bingo

 

That's exactly what they are doing.
