Got it!
Thank You!

Glad I could help.

Don't think html tags work for formatting the posts.

Quick Question...is there an official list with all the compensatory picks?

No - the official one has not yet been released. Overthecap.com has provisional one up which should be pretty close. Comp picks will not be tradable in our game until the official one is released.

Re SoF - tendered RFAs are going into RFA 24 hour bid period (TBC), only after that you'll know how many stars each one cost you. Just ERFAs and cuts should be updated now - they are final once posted in cut thread.

He's a FA according to most reports I've seen.

[rmw10]

I will be updating the rules thread a bit later today.  We'll have the updated SoF process as well as some dates of note moving forward.  I'll update the thread and have a new post on the short version of the updates.

[ArsenalRaven666]

Thats where im getting confused, every site has a different status.

Some have him suspended (commish exempt) on contract for 1m (OTC) or RFA (spotrac)

Will have to look into it before I post cuts

Just looked it up.  He's an RFA because he was technically reinstated and voluntarily walked away from the season.  For that reason, his service time still accrues and he becomes a FA.

Should be Round 5, Pick 16

Fixed

@ludy51 once a little of FA shakes out, I will likely accept that trade. Just have to see if anything major changes (which I don't currently anticipate).

[ludy51]

No way anybody would trade for kaepernick wiht hat salary, and I wasn't keeping him on as a starter or a backup with that salary, so cut it is.

I might even use that special trade/cut rule which would bring my savings up to 19.5 stars

Will try and get my SoF, depth chart, and trade block up today. Will be out of town the next two days without internet, but would love to come back to a full mail box of trade offers

[rmw10]

I have a great appreciation for the Packers' FO and their ability to not be tied down to any player.  There's only one player I couldn't cut without taking a big loss and that's because he just signed an extension.  Everyone else is completely "cuttable" if I really wanted to do it.

Due to some errors with OTC, we are indeed moving back over to Spotrac.  Sorry we didn't clarify that.

For those of you that have sent your emails in and have access to the spreadsheet, you're going to be using the full active spending, NOT just the top 51 active spending.  The spreadsheet is designed to take off 0.5 stars for every player over the 51 limit.  I have all of the numbers in a spreadsheet and will be checking/editing those cap starts.

Feel free to use this to add in your numbers.  They are updated and final as of today for all but the New York Giants.  I beat the Jennings cut but was a touch too late for the Cruz cut.

Thats okay--I will be cutting Cruz and Jennings either way. When I cut Cruz I am guessing i do not need to take this into account on my SOF than?

Yep Cruz is already gone.  We can always take the current numbers though if you'd like.  Might make it easier than having to cut either of them.

The contracts are very team friendly and makes it easy to cut/trade.

That would work better and be easier--I just put both of them in the cut thread

@Giants56Ravens52 Just wanted to give the heads up, but your SoF hasn't been filled out, so the trade can't be confirmed until that's been done and the depth chart has been posted and updated.

Yeah you can just amend your SoF to Spotrac's current numbers in that case.  I tried to get the numbers ASAP since you said you were going to try to trade them, but since you just want to cut them, the current numbers are better.

 

Which brings me to my next point, for anyone else... please try to take a screenshot of your current cap situation off of Spotrac.  Makes it easier when things like restructures and cuts happen, so we still have the numbers we've locked in at.

Also, for the SoF, make sure to use the Active Contracts total this time and not the Top 51 contracts as we have a formula to calculate the Top 51 savings for all teams if applicable.

I used the publish roster option and saved the details so if any contracts change I have the base i worked off.

He's aware of that.

@hn68wb4 if you'd like in, the Dallas Cowboys are ready and waiting for you.

Considering using a tender on a player

If I were to change my mind can I pull it at any time and are there any penalties
