Invalid, as RFA bids must be more than their tender

I can't believe the prices some of these guys got to.  I pulled back Brad Nortman for 0.5 stars.  I'm pumped about that after seeing these prices.

I have to say I'm a fan of bringing in the transition tag rules. It made for an interesting wrinkle.

Let me know when I can make a decision on Cunningham.

Falcons will not match the bids on Ryan Schraeder or Paul Worrilow

Wait, so there isn't a message deal sent where I can up my bid like with other free agents?

I know you'll take the 1st round pick and run with that. Lol

Not with RFA or the transition tag, they just have to match

[hawkprey]

Question: When you trade for a player, does their cap hit on your team not include dead money (i.e., former team cap hit - dead money = new team cap hit)? If so, I have more room than I thought.

[ClintLB8]

Dang. I didn't realize that. Well, Rams got to keep a solid player.

Nope.  Your final bid is it in RFA.

When you trade for a player, you only inherit their base salary.

I think its simply base salary. Not cap hit - dead money.

When you trade for a player you take on their base salary. Trading a guy away saves you the cap hit minus the dead money.

I think Schraeder is a nice pickup for the Colts OL and he will definitely help protect Luck. But yeah, I'm good with having the 17th and 18th pick in the draft haha.

[ludy51]

I'm really dumb. Completely forgot about this until 7:16

Ok, I'll quote just you for brevity. 

It looks like Sportrac uses the formula Base Salary + Roster Bonus + Workout Bonus = New Team Cap Hit. Can anyone confirm that we're just using Base Salary?

Roster and workout bonuses disappear in this game.  It's a bit of a loophole, but it's done for simplicity's sake.

Question: if the FA is signed for 1.5 stars, does cutting him save 0.5 or 1 star?

Just a technicality, but you need to post this in the RFA thread.

1st rd pick is a good get for you though

Simplicity? Not for me. Sportrac's salary cap manager is much simpler. I would recommend people try it. But ok.

1 star.  .75 would round up.

How is just looking at the base salary and seeing that harder than going off what a cap manager says?

Cool. And if I trade him, the entire amount is saved or also 1 star?
