Developmental Cap
Okay, I found my own answer (based on the rules at the FF site, though I think we are going to be changing these somewhat).
Each team will be allowed a 3 player development squad for players with 0-3 years of NFL experience. The development squad will have a 2000cb development squad cap with 8 contract years available (max 3/player). Development squad cb and contract year caps will not count against a teams regular cap unless a player is activated to the active roster.
Once promoted to the Active Roster, a player cannot be placed back on the Development Squad by the SAME team during the same season (if the player is cut or traded other teams can place the player on their Development Squad, but the original team CANNOT ever have on his development squad that year).
The same soft and hard cap rules will apply when releasing players off the Development Squad as with the Active Rosters, only the cap hit will count against the Development Squad Cap not the Active Roster Cap. Further, Development Squad contracts will increase 10% each year just as Active Roster contracts do.
