does this mean we can sign kelly johnson w/o losing a pick?

Always a bit confusing at first with new rulings, but it would seem so.
12M or more per year and the signing team forfeits their top draft pick.

Going over spending just a small amount over slot in the draft will be paying a tax through the nose.
Lots of new rules info, including the Elias rankings will be done with.

Not sure I like this. Helps the high spending teams but maybe this will get those low sending teams to dish out knowing they won't get a draft pick. So I'm not sure yet.
