Buyouts
60 - to buyout a player you must post in the ‘Roster Transactions’ thread under the ‘Released Players’ sub-board.
61 - with the exception of Rule 64 & 65, dropping any player from your active roster carries a salary cap penalty.
a - if you choose to drop a player from your active roster that is in the final, or only, year of his contract, you must offer a buyout for a total of one half of one year’s salary to that player, which will be decremented from your total cap limit.
b - if you drop a player from your active roster that is not in the final year of his contract, you must offer a buyout for a total of one half of one year’s salary to the player for the current year, and one fourth of one year’s salary to the player for each remaining year on the contract, which will be decremented from your total cap limit for the appropriate years.
For example, a player won for $5 in 2016 who is given a 3 year contract, and who is dropped in 2016, will incur a penalty of $2.50 in 2016, and a penalty of $1.25 in both 2017 and 2018. This would then free up $2.5 in salary in 2016, and $3.75 salary in 2017 and 2018, which you could then reallocate elsewhere.
62 - once a player has been dropped, that player then becomes entirely freed from his contract. He becomes a free agent without a contract and so can have different contract terms attributed to him when auctioned.
63 - if you drop a player you are not allowed to resign that player for the remainder of the season, until that player has been contractually signed and dropped from the active roster of another manager.
64 – a player who has officially retired, for whatever reason, either voluntarily or involuntarily, may be dropped from your active roster at any time for zero cap hit, regardless of that player’s remaining contract length and salary. If a manager drops such a player, and that player then reverses his decision to retire and carries on playing, then the manager who dropped the player is not liable for any backdated cap penalty, providing the drop was made before the player announced his intention to continue playing.
65 - any new manager who joins the league will be given a one week grace period in which he will be allowed to cut up to one players from his active roster for zero cap hit, regardless of the remaining contract lengths and salaries of those players.
