The Lead Sports article, along with a mention in the MMQB article from Klemko, attempts to make the case that Kraft's involvement in Brady's TB12 sports training center amounts to a salary cap violation. The Patriots apparently refer players to TB12 regularly, and Brady invoices the team for services.
The NFL and NFLPA have stated that this is not a violation under the current CBA rules, although the issue could be visited at a later time.
I'm no expert, but I suppose that one could make the argument that this violates the spirit of the CBA. Thoughts?
