Technical waiver question

[thoughtful]

Can teams claim large salaries on waivers if they are over the cap or must a waiver claim's salary fit the cap? I am guessing that you have to have room, but I just wanted to check with the people in the know.

Full salary must fit under the cap to claim a player off waivers.

Besides space, could have an exception (MLE, BAE, DPE)

Prorated portion of full salary.

Prorated portion of full salary.

But certain things like the MLE prorate as the season progresses, as well.
