I agree. I think the cap hit should be lower if you trade compared to just cut the player. But whatever.

why should there be a cap hit at all to a team that is trading a player ??? that means that there will be virtually no player for draft pick trades at all

player for player shouldnt really matter that much considering that both teams will be taking an equal hit if salaries are equal

it is to prevent stashing players and getting around the cap.

what do you mean by that? I'm sorry, but I just don't see that happening. And if it is, then there should be rules against it that dont screw other teams from making trades.

That's my problem. I wanted to do a few player for draft picks, but with the cap hit, it totally screws it up.

i think it is self evident...

1. if you screw up your cap then you shouldn't be able to get out of it by trading your team away...real NFL teams cannot do that.

2. what would prevent you from signing players to long-term contracts and then trading them to another team in order to make sure that the second owner could get them before free agency??

make sense?

yeah it makes sense...but I think that it shouldn't be the same penalty as a cut. If you trade a player, you should still get a cap hit, but because they are going to be taking on your whole contract, why should you pay half too? That means that player is costing two teams even more money than it cost the one team. I do think that trades should be allowed and the teams shouldn't be punished for wanting to better their teams by making trades and bringing more talent to their team.

oh and for the record, my cap isn't that bad. I have over $6 million left right now and will probably use some of that to fix my long term contracts. I didn't realize all those rules when i made these contracts. Yeah it's my fault, but you don't have to get like that with me.
