  • Reminder on salary obligations

    Hey!

    Can someone remind me when the last sim is before a person can be cut and not incur any of the salary obligations of that year? (I understand bonus money is gone/lost for all yrs remaining on contract if cut)

    But I know if I have a guy that is making 15m....and 5m is bonus. If I cut him now, I get the 10m back for my cap room......but at some point some (a portion) of the 10m is also unrecoverable. Is that once the LFA sims start?

    Thanks!

    I believe...and someone can correct me if I am wrong...Salary is based on games
    so preseason week 1 would be when a player starts getting paychecks and his salary cap savings would change if you cut or trade him
    It ends week 17, when a player has earned his full salary for that season...I know that
    I believe it starts preseason week 1, so it would be 22 weeks? or 20 if the Bye week and the open preseason week dont count
    This is a good question that everyone should be aware of

    If you want to check the current cap savings on a player, click on view rosters
    then contract view and there is a column that shows what you save if you release each player (save if release)

      Thanks RedZone! Yes, I can see the current savings...but was hoping if I can backfill in either FA or draft some positions, I could drop some significant money due some 'mediocre' players. But don't want to cut too soon, and find I have nothing to replace the high priced dudes with.


      Thanks for reply!
