Salary Cap

[Admin]

1) the trade stands even if there is a cap problem. even if the commish cant get to the s'sheet to discover a problem, the non-offending team shouldnt be penalized by overturning the trade.
2) the penalty is for the amount in question, applied to the next years salary cap.
3) 2 remedies.
a) offending team needs to drop a player to comply.
b) other team kicks-in the amount. this team then receives the offending teams lowest/worst? draft pick as compensation.
4)all transactions by offending team will be suspended until the cap problem is resolved.

Sounds good to me. Another well thought-out ruling.

Pit will have to revise the spreadsheet to allow for penalties though. LOL.

If a player is cut and while a free agent same said player is resigned; does any of the old salary contract count against the cap?

I believe you pay 1/2 of the old salary.

[Admin]

if you cut a player you are responsible for salary thru remaining years of contract. its 1/2 of current year then 1/4 of current year thru remaining years.
suppose you cut a player with contract thru 2012. his current salary is 4mil. you then would owe 2mil, 1mil, 1mil.
you can re-sign him and assign him a NEW salary to be paid concurrently with his 'cut' salary. i am paying hafner 2 salaries right now.
hope this helps.

I am glad you explained that admin. I didn't realize the 1/2 to 1/4 rule.
