your saying this number was 208,000, and you cut three and signed one guy on that spin?
Cap used next year: $104,970,889
Dead cap next year: $84,499,696
Players under contract: 47
Future Draft Picks
maybe the cap numbers on the players card were slightly different than the the team home
page? Those 3 guys looked to open up at most 1.1 million so there should have been room to not go over, but there have been numerical discrepancies between the cards and the home page, and perhaps you were actually over the whole time ?
Right now you have roughly 350 mil in cap room , that puts your clearing of the cap at 14% . Not the 20% I think you get, but if a clearing of the dead cap took place that puts your current dead cap at 20% cleared which does fit the number I have heard tossed around.
I don't know what happened but if either of those two senerios took place I could see some sort of explanation within it. The first one is a display bug and the second is intentional to help cap strapped teams, but I don't know what exactly takes place to get a team under.
You have 47 contracts totaling around 30 mil and you said 330 mil in dead cap...that right there would have this year's cap 10 million above. That math doesn't seem to line up either, unless that was the reason the cap was cleared .
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Yeah I'm certain the Room Under Cap figure was only 208k before the last spin, I even commented on it in the League Chat.
I just looked at some old screen grabs (which I don't know how to post here) and after the end of season spin my cap room was -58 million and I had 262 million in dead cap, after the first week of Free Agency when I started cutting players my cap room was -32 million and I had -282 million in dead cap, I didn't take any screen grabs after that.
If there's some sort of mechanism built in to clear dead cap to cap relief in such situations then all well and good, I didn't know there was.
Thanks again.
