RSO - Salary Cap Question?

Postby Kthnx » Wed Jul 31, 2019 7:33 pm

First year using RSO - I took over a orpahn

Trying to clear cap space and I'm not sure how it works.

Reading an article on Reality sports the writer said.

"In RSO, no player is safe from being a cut candidate with the salary cap a factor. Not even the magnificent Aaron Rodgers.

So what will I do? If I want to have more cap space I need to move him, even if that means just cutting him. Remember that cutting a player still gives you the option to buy them back in the auction and you get a 50% reduction in his dead cap. With a player like Rodgers, I likely would still be trying to buy him back, as long as he doesn’t cost more than the dead money I owe him plus his new deal."

This isn't clear to me.
--
I have Jordan Howard for for 3 more years at roughly $20 million a year

If I cut him I understand it would be 50% dead cap space or $10 million.
--
So if I resigned him for let's say $10 million then my dead cap of $10 mil would be reduced by 50% or $5 mil?

Also does anything happen to dead cap if someone resigns the player in FA?

You kind of confused me, but to make it easy for yourself just go to drop the player and it will give you the breakdown of the dead money you will owe him for the remainder of his contract. Sometimes you only have to eat a chunk of dead money for the first year, other times it may be over the course of a couple.

Once you cut a player, he will go on waivers. If a team picks him up off of waivers they eat that contract and the team that cut said player will not have dead money against the cap. If said player clears waivers, you will have to absorb that dead money.

Its no problem, I have been doing RSO since 2015. I am still learning the in and outs as the commissioner, especially since they keep adding to the experience, which is a good thing. Feel free to send me a PM if you ever have any more questions.
