Question regarding salary cap...
The rules have a slight conflict (or I misunderstand a rule)
Section 8A:
Once a team tenders a bid, that player is considered part of their active roster and the tendered salary counts against the teams cap until either matched or declined at the end of the bidding.

3) Until an RFA player has started the bidding process, his salary is counted towards the tendering owner (the initial declaration amount).

So, when does the salary drop from the tendering teams salary cap? After Decline/Match or once an initial bid is placed?
