The bonuses for Cooks and Landry were changed because they exceeded the Max salary.

See, this data is very important for owners to have way before today. We could have identified other players for RFA or cut them to avoid CAP issues.

If Bees really thought he was gonna have the same roster as last year (and he did by his post) well...impossible with contract players getting 10% more regardless of performance, RFA costs, and add THIS on top...no sir...

I don't know how I can be under the cap either...I may have to dump Landry before the new league year.

Thanks for information Bobby...I thought the rookie bonus was only for actual rookies i.e. 5 year contract guys in that 1st contract year...I did not get that it was more bumps for longer down the road...my error...

Man I have to make moves...I dont think I can afford any draft picks I may make...

Everyone does their best to get this stuff done. But as we've always said, each owner is responsible for managing their own team, and these other tools are helpful, but cannot be the sole source to rely on. Understood this is complex league which can take a bit of time to figure out, and we are all available as a resource for any questions. I myself take last years salaries, and adjust manually on a piece of paper. Than compare to the App, which has salaries without bonuses, for a couple years out. I also calculate out my rookie bonuses, based on the listing of status in the App also. From the Rosters page, I click on Adjustments under my team to see what my Soft Cap carryover will be. So I had a good idea of what my cap was before RFA's were due.

Chuck, you don't have tube able to be able to afford draft picks unless you place them your active roster.
