Heard in 2 episodes across 1 show since Jun 2026

A salary cap is an agreement or rule in professional sports that places a limit on the amount of money a team can spend on players' salaries. It can exist as a per-player limit, a total limit for the team's roster, or both. Leagues implement salary caps to control overall costs and maintain competitive balance by preventing wealthier clubs from dominating through excessive spending.
