currently if a player is released during the season, their salary no longer counts toward the cap.... they gave that player a contract for the year, that money should count toward the team's salary cap for the full year, not majically disappear when dropped, unless picked up by another KRFL team....
The salary of the player the team picks up counts against the cap (@$500,000 I believe). What if the salary of the player being signed is the salary of the player being cut instead of $500,000?
Also, if the proposal that teams are not allowed to keep their free agent signees passes, then this proposal is irrelevant isn't it?
Proposal: the salary of a player released during the season shall count toward the team's salary cap for the full year unless he is picked up on waivers by another team
The salary of the player the team picks up counts against the cap (@$500,000 I believe). What if the salary of the player being signed is the salary of the player being cut instead of $500,000?

the salaries would be irrelevant.... the released player's salary remains, the new player's salary is added it wouldn't be irrelevant, because they are still adding the salary of the new player and keep the released one; the salaries are still pertinent to this year, they wouldn't lose the salary till the next season when they must release them....
This proposal makes sense if I'm understanding it correctly. Tell me if I'm wrong but how I read it is:
We have a $93m cap IN SEASON and a team could open up cap space by releasing a high cost Free Agent (say with a salary of $4m, thus giving that team $14m of trading space and letting them off the hook for the salary owed for the rest of the season.) If that is correct, I would support this amendment if Jerry tells us where in the Constitution we should add this rule.

---------------------------- Got it. OK, then I am in favor of this proposal.
