League not commenting on cap implications of Luck using Irsay’s plane | ProFootballTalk

How do you feel about this, in regards to it counting against the salary cap?

Its going against there salary cap. Nothing wrong with it to me.

 

[Hangman]

No it wont. The Cowboys and Redskins have been doing this for years.

It didnt go against there cap and today the league said that they couldnt let him use the plane

The rule seems intrusive on the surface but it makes sense from a slippery slope perspective. I can see connection between the rule and the "gift" and it seems as though the league could apply the rule in this case, whether it will is another question.

If can avoid applying the rule without setting a precedent then they will - if not, the rule will be enforced or the league will send Mr. Irsay a polite "knock that shit off" correspondence.

I believe the legal term is a writ of knock that shit off.

Fair, but that's why you have to judge each situation on its own merit. I hardly think this can be classified as a gift, this is business purposes....it would be different if he were flying to Hawaii or something. Does this mean he can't even charge his air travel to the team? Hard to believe.

I hear what your sayin and I don't necessarily disagree, I just understand why the rule is the way it is. Making exceptions to any rule is a risky proposition but making exceptions for contractual terms is a Pandora’s Box you don't want to go anywhere near - no matter how much sense the exception might seem to make.

Sometimes in order to insure the rules cover the critical they also have to cover the mundane.

Simply Hilarious!
