Quickie on Min Roster Cap Holds

[shrink]

A roster charge if the team has fewer than 12 players (players under contract, free agents included in team salary, players given offer sheets, and first round draft picks). The roster charge is equal to the rookie minimum salary for each player below 12. The roster charge only applies during the offseason.

If 13 is the league minimum (12 active and 1 inactive), do you get a cap hold freebie for #13 in the off-season?

Thanks to all for the knowledge you impart on these boards.

Yep.

[Dunkenstein]

Yep.

Simple, accurate, but not as elegant as some of your former work.

[Three34]

I'll rephrase, with elegance.

Yep.

I know this is an unnecessary addendum, so let's talk about the XYZ rule subsection 12a as applied to the situation where a team has 14 players during the season and wants to sign two more because of injuries, and the restrictions in Art XXXV Sec 22 that would be applied. In that case, the yep should be further elaborated to say, "Yep but..." and we also have to examine whether the CBA is actually worded properly in that section.

I think Keira pictures work well as addendums. We should factor them in more.

[Dunkenstein]

Maybe they can be added as a requirement to the "love of the game" provision of the Uniform Player Contract in the 2011 CBA.
