Isn't the point of bring a marquee player is that part of your payment is outside the cap?

Not sure that is the case, to say it's "outside the cap" is not really accurate, there is a pool of funds that you can use for nominated marquee players, but it's still limited and under audit and has to be pre-approved by the AFL. It's not a free hit.
