Again, from what I recall it was about deferred payments to Elway and Davis related to stadium financing. I have not seen anything that confirmed the deferred payments allowed them to sign more players than legally allowed by the cap. It was creative financing on how those 2 players were paid. They were found guilty of cap violations in that regard and paid their penalties. But, I have not seen one statement from the league that confirmed they actually were given an advantage by signing players they otherwise would have been unable to pay/sign.
