Thanks!

John, you do not have years room to do this, as you are currently at 65 years (adding 1 back in for DWill) - so will need some cuts made before I can process this

[emerald]

3 cuts will be added next...

[Liquid Swords]

Leniency shown here...so I guess the same for other renegs that resulted in infringements

[Burt the Butcher]

Well, my feeling is, since Renegs technically can be made up until April 1st, the reneg just is not valid until room is made. If that is not done before the April 1st deadline, then it does not happen.

sound fair?

[Liquid Swords]

what about renegs made during the season? it happens.

[Burt the Butcher]

I would say same thing - they just don't take effect until appropriate moves are made to handle them. If April 1st passes without the proper moves, then reneg will not happen

[Burt the Butcher]

My thinking is, it is not like signing UFA or RFA...they are not gaining new player, thus not getting an advantage by having more players than they can fit. They are the ones that would be losing out should they not make cuts to fit in the new salary/years.

Please see rule 7C below (note bolded)

7C. Contract Years Cap

There will be 2 types of Contract Years Caps per team, an Active Roster Cap which is 65 years (5 max/player), and a Taxi Squad Cap which is 32 years (5 max/player). There is no Contract Year cap on the Practice Squad, however no player can be given a contract for more than 5 years.

A team's contract years obligation is determined by the total number of years, including the current season, that remain on player contracts. Teams must adhere to a maximum of 65 contract years for their team, meaning that the total number of years of all player contracts must not exceed 65.

There is also a limit for the length of any individual contract. No contract can be for more than 5 years.

As with the salary cap, no team may exceed this cap at any time. Extra contract years do not carry over from season to season. Contract years may not be traded to other teams in order to increase their cap.

If a team makes an acquisition (trade or free agent signing) which places them over the contract years cap, they must release appropriate personnel to meet the cap restriction. If a team fails to get under the contract year cap within 24 hours, roster penalties will apply.
