Re: Insects and Predators strike a 2nd deal
The difficulty here is that we have a situation we haven't prepared for... and we need to make a decision. I'm not sold either way... but I was initially leaning along the lines that Jake expressed.
Especially good point about the one extra year and half salary...
It seems as though we have 3 options:
1. All IR moves are automatically lateral... all release dates apply, and the receiving team automatically assumes the contract/salary ramifications...
2. The receiving team must re-declare the new player as an IR player, thus the 4-week stipulation applies anew. If a player has already served his 4-week "stint" on the transferring team, then the receiving team can activate him w/o further penalty...
3. Any player traded from IR-status has his status automatically terminated upon trade. If the receiving team wants to keep him on the IR, that owner must re-declare, and the 4-game restriction applies. However, the owner can also choose to activate him, no matter how many/few weeks he's been on the IR.
I'm guessing we're going to be debating between options 1 & 2... as I wouldn't personally be in favor of #3.
