This really is what it all comes down to. Teams play within the rules one year and - because nobody can prognosticate the future - many teams end up pushing the limits of or breaking those rules by doing absolutely nothing. A salary cap only works if individual player salaries are adjusted by the same rate the overall cap fluctuates.
