I believe no but the person you are trading with has to take the full contract.

We need Eb to explain this asap.

I thought there was a cap hit, this came up earlier.

I don't know if Eb ever answered it or not.

Okay, now I'm starting to remember a thread addressing this issue a while back.

Yes, like I said before...there is the same cap hit if you trade or cut a player.

Really? That's not what I understood. The way Eb put it, he said that he has a feeling there will be a lot less trading because now you will have to eat some of the money on the future years if you trade or cut a player.

I guess I won't be trading then.

Re: Is there a cap hit when you trade a player?

this was explained in the above mentioned thread...right in #1 but I created some confusion. I consistently used the phrase trade or cut (or cut or trade) except in #1. The hit is the same whether you cut or trade a player. If you trade a player now then you are assessed the cap hit described below. NOTE: the word TRADE has been added in this iteration.

1. Before the start of any season if you cut or trade a player then one half of all their salaries will be assessed against your cap. Example. If you have a player signed for 2 years at $1mil and $1.2 mil and you cut or trade them before the season begins you will be assessed a penalty of $1.1 mil.

Thank you for clearing it right. I thought that's what you said to me before.
