Good thing I had enough cap space or I would have unknowingly gone over the salary cap. It wasn't until today that I'd noticed the "however" clause in the second paragraph. I even looked this up when deciding on which rookies to add to the Taxi. I read the 1st paragraph and thought I had my answer so I dropped Matt Schaub and added Courtney Roby in his place. Had I continued to read and noticed the ambiguity, I would have brought this to everyone's attention and asked for an explanation....I would have kept Schaub and dropped Roby too. I think this is where the Derby Cars got into problems with exceeding the cap.

You've lost me here Pat... there is NO CAP HIT when releasing a player off the DS/TS or PS in most circumstances. With the implementation of the new Taxi Squad this year however, a player who is promoted upwards to the Active Squad, and then down at a later date to the TS, WILL be subdject to cap penalties. If a player spends 3 years on your DS/TS and you release him, and he was NEVER promoted to the Active Roster, you will not be hit with the cap penalty.
As for SBDC... I do not believe Nate is being charged for releasing rookies or DS players... if you look on the app, you'll notice I zeroed out the penalties for all DS/TS releases. I believe Nate is over the cap because he promoted JJ Arrington, but did NOT have enough cap space to accomodate him (by a meager 43 cb's).
