Cap question....

[Michael82]

I remember before the season that you said that we can use cap money left over from this year to restructure contracts. I was just wondering if that is still possible or not.

find me the actual quote...i don't want to comment until i see what we said.

I'm trying to find the exact quote, but I did find these....

That's what worries me. The future salaries are going to kill some teams, like me. out of curiousity tho...i know you said I can eat some of the latter years of a contract now...if I do that, does it stop me from keeping that player when their contract expires?

you can shave years and take the salcap penalty....but if you do that then why would you sign them again later - you would just be spending that money twice??

This is the only info I am finding....

You can cut years off contracts, but u gotta eat half of whatever you cut off in the year u cut it off.

I could have sworn that you meant we could restructure and take a salary cap penalty now. Basically you buy out some of the later years of a player's deal.

Eb if i had signed a player I had orginally drafted at $5mil in our inauguaral draft and then signed him to a 1 year $ 5 mil contratc if I want to resign him again this year is it true that his contract will start out at the next highest contract amount or $7.5 Mil ???

you can offer him a 1 year restricted deal but you could lose him in the draft...yes, he would be bumped to the next level.
