This team = https://mfn8.myfootballnow.com/team/18

I told him that he had to ask you to remove the dead cap and also told him he could cut players but now he tells me in PM that he cant cut players because he said last GM gave everyone on team long term expensive contracts.

That's a pretty good team. If he just cuts all the overpaid old guys who are under about a 75 rating he will make enough cap room to get in the black, sign his 4 draft picks and sign enough cheap guys to fill out that roster with maybe 60 mil in dead money next season. That's not so bad... :)

agreed! that team does not need special intervention. Just a GM who knows what he's doing.

I've taken over two teams with atrocious cap problems and turned them around in two seasons. Project teams can be a lot of fun and rewarding. In both instances I was able to get at least some value out of the guys I would have cut anyway.

FWIW, this is why I think there needs to be a limit how far you go over the cap when offering contracts. We are already seeing instances of teams going waaay over and having salaries/cap reset.

Nip it in the bud now; prevent it from happening in the future.

I am now climbing off my soapbox .. lol

I agree. I know some people don’t want this because they will sometimes do it with a big plan in mind and can successfully get their team back under the cap. Which is great by them and I commend them! But I think it would be great to maybe prevent new people from doing it. Perhaps similar to the temporary no-trades period, there could be a temporary time frame that doesn’t allow new players to go so far over the cap?
