Good job advancing us 123.  And that version of the Raiders logo is wicked.

Hopefully Clutch returns soon, otherwise we could need a replacement

[T3hRaven]

We might be done for night unless BALTIMOREFLACCO gave someone his team board.  He got off about an hour and a half ago.

[PaRAYdise]

Oh [profanity deleted] somehow I have thought in a trade of a player I would save his Base and just eat his SB not cap Hit - Dead Money.

It looks like a good portion of you did the math right so far.  Some of you might have forgot your rollover or made a rounding error in the calculations.  The teams still available are bolded.  There will be audits!

Holy mother of god.... This changes everything/ I will hire you to do my taxes......

I need you to factor in the cuts I sent you....

[PaRAYdise]

Oh I know where my confusion comes from :

In the announcement thread it states trade away a player and you will save his base salary.

Now it has changed.

I am not in favour of that as I was negotiating using the "old" rules now the agreement looks very bad from my point of view.

That's their projected cap space, they're using a different cap value than we are.  Ours is 132.5 stars without draft picks, or $132,500,000.  That's not something I found on the internet, I went into each team's Spotrac individually to get their cap values and ran the calculations in my spreadsheet.  If you want I can send you that.

Luckily trades can't be announced yet so you're ok.

 

Just a reminder to everyone, grayed out contract values next to a player's name on Spotrac means they're not counted in the team's Rule of 51 cap value.  Cutting those guys DOES NOT net you more cap space.  You're deducting money that wasn't counted, so you're inflating your cap space beyond what it should be.

Ah, I did some calculations and I got it. I updated my state of franchise accordingly. I simply forgot to add the rollover. Well done, sir.

I'm not guaranteeing it's 100% correct, but it's a good starting point and seems to be accurate so far.  Just trying to make sure everyone is on an even playing field in terms of the math.
