It is impossible to disregard the salary cap because the NFL has to approve every contract. They keep track of the cap numbers and implications. So if a contract or acquisition would put a team over the cap they league would simply not allow it; the player would continue to be a free agent and could not play under the illegal contract, or in the case of a trade, returned to his original team.
