you can sign him for the minimum. there's no need to use your TE or pay more than the min.
Not really...
Since players do not ever clear waivers in our game, you need the actual salary amount in cap space to sign players above the minimum.
So say if a team with Jason Kidd cut him, a random team can't just go and pick him up for the minimum, that team needs 20 mil in cap space in order to sign him. And once that happens, the salary is no longer on the original team.
(That was confusing)
Example
Detroit cuts Allen Iverson because they want to tank the rest of the season
Washington likes Allen Iverson
Washington needs to have 20 million in cap space, and since they do, they are now able to go and sign Allen Iverson.
Allen Iverson's contract comes off of Detroit's salary and is added onto Washingtons.
Or at least that was the way DCash had it, also it prevents teams for cutting a player in agreement for another team to instantly sign him.
Wow, sorry for that being so long
