I guess some players pre cap like Ralls might be on more, or panic signings like Kaba.
This from Wales Online April 2022:

Cardiff's wage structure will alter dramatically next season. While there is talk of a wage cap in the air, one source has told WalesOnline they will operate on an average wage structure, rather than a cap, per se. It means they want the senior squad to average out at a certain number, meaning if they push the boat out too far on one player's wage it will have a negative, trickle-down effect on others. We have been told that the wage budget Cardiff have to operate on next season will place them among the lowest in the division.

Around the same time the club were feeding stories that the 2022-23 wage structure would have an average wage ceiling of £12k - with the aim of coming in well below that.

Then you get sites like this which claim an average player salary of under £10k:

But a quick glance at the list is enough to show it is bollocks.
