If you're an owner, you can go to salaries and filter by Cap Relief or something like that, it's the option before Cap Penalty. It will tell you how much you save or lose by cutting a player.

[The Heartbreak Kid]

If you cut somebody with a signing bonus, you get penalized. The signing bonus gets divided between two seasons. If you cut someone with no signing bonus, you get all that money back.

Lets say you signed someone to a new 3 year contract with $15m ($5m/year) signing bonus, but decide to cut them. You have to pay the $15m split between two seasons, even though it was a 3 year contract. On the flip side... If you have someone on the last year of their 3 year contract, and it says he has a $15m signing bonus. You only have to pay $5m in cap penalty.

Hopefully that makes sense.

EDIT: Also, doesn't it say before you cut someone, "You will save $xx but have to pay $xxx in cap penalty?"

If someone puts a claim on a over 75 free agent and someone else likes to sign him to is it then a bidding war? or first serve first gets?

[DYSI]

Usually we don't but I think for this first round of offers I will since their are some pretty high OVR players available. By Saturday I'll figure it out and let everyone know who out on their players. So if you want someone that's already been claimed/want someone and didn't claim him yet - get it in before tomorrow afternoon-ish.

Thanks. Yeah I knew the purpose of cap penalties, etc. just wasn't sure how to find them. Seems like I'm in decent shape, though. Only $500k in 2013 penalties and $600k in 2014 penalties. Felt like it was going to wind up being more since so many Niners players had signing bonuses and I had a lot of trimming to do to make it down to 53.

Game still hasn't arrived urghhhh

[Your Mom]

So I won my first game 42-38 because the Detroit WR dropped a TD pass on the last play of the game. So terrible

[alldaws1]

So is mine, unless AD doesn't have the game yet.

I have the game now but I'll join the league tomorrow morning. You can play our game against the CPU if you want, just wondering if there's any difference to you playing the CPU while I'm the owner or not?

[Maxx]

I'm fine with simming it, I was more concerned with getting trades done and free agents signed.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Dan I have to play against you, just tell me what you want to do.

So, the Steelers like to get Brett Keisel. What should I do. Mmmmmm.

[Monkey D. Lars]

If no one wants him, could I try and sign V. Leach (FB)?

[The Heartbreak Kid]

I'd like to put a FA bid on DT Richard Seymour.

That's not a promising sign for my Lions :'(

[Your Mom]

He was totally wide open too. It was really sad. I think we both went back to our locker rooms and cried after. The upside is I really love one of my back up WRs. Ben Obomanu I think was his name. That dude catches everything

[Cactus Drags]

I'd like to sign DT Amobi Okoye (76)

[DYSI]

Everyone can sign their FA requests since no one doubled up on the same player. Try and get them signed before tonight though because I'm trying to get the season rolling and you don't want to risk the CPU picking them up.

HURRY!

[alldaws1]

I'd like to sign ROLB Nick Barnett & RG Brandon Moore.

[LL!]

I'm ready to roll.

[Your Mom]

Did anyone take FS Quinton Mikell? I would like him Oh and I also would trade Santonio Holmes if anyone wants him

[alldaws1]

Wasn't sure whether it accepts trades straight away or waits until we roll. Turns out it does it straight away, so Dallas has sent Ernie Sims to Seattle for Anthony McCoy.

I've also offered whoever is the 49ers Ryan Cook for Colt McCoy. Willing to throw Kyle Orton in or just swap Orton for McCoy if you're not interested in Cook.
