There can be left over escrow $$$s, because the players money taken from escrow is not returned directly to that players team. Instead it is first used to fund revenue sharing. Any $$$s after that are returned to the teams as equal (1/30) shares.

There was more info on the cap, escrow, and reveneue sharing in an SBJ article.

There was a thead on it here:

Of course if revenue sharing is dependent upon escrow funds, the small market teams get screwed if the big spenders don't overspend.
