    Player Salaries
    Salaries for individual players will be taken from the Rotoworld salary database. There is only one way a player’s salary changes. If he is released and then resigned via free agency within the GM League (not real NFL). Once a player is traded, his salary stays the same unless he is cut by the team in the GM league.

    When Cutting A Player
    There is no penalty for cutting a player. If a player has a cap value of 3 million and you release or trade him, the entire 3 million is subtracted off your cap.

    When Trading A Player
    Once a player is traded his entire salary is transferred to the acquiring team.

    2012 Salary Cap
    The salary cap for the 2012 GM League will be $85,000,000. You will need to be under this number before the start of free agency and stay under for the remainder of the year. This is figured by taking the average salary of all 32 NFL teams and adding a couple million to it.

    Franchise/Transition Tags
    All tags and tenders must be submitted before the start of free agency (sometime in March).

    Exclusive Rights Franchise Tag
    A new addition this year will be teams may make use the exclusive-rights franchise tag. An exclusive-rights franchise tag will cost more than a tradition non-exclusive franchise tag however it will allow teams to make sure they get their target without any disturbances. An exclusive-rights franchise tagged player can be added to the team's roster as soon as the deadline to tag/tender players passes.

    Non Exclusive Rights Franchise Tag
    A non-exclusive franchise tag will cost a little less than the tag mentioned above however other teams will have a 24 hour window during free agency to make a bid on the tagged player. If a bid is made on a non-exclusive rights tagged player, you have the option to match the bid or accept compensation from the bidding team. If you accept compensation, you will receive two first round picks from the bidding team.

    Transition Tag
    A transition tag is even less than the two tags mentioned above and teams will also have the 24 hour window during free agency to make a bid on the tagged player. However if a bid is made on a transition tagged player, you will only have the option to match the bid. You will receive no compensation from the bidding team if you do not match the bid.

    Amount of Tags Per Team
    Teams have a choice of using either the Exclusive Rights Franchise Tag OR the Non-Exclusive Rights Franchise Tag and the Transition Tag. Which means if you tag a player with the Exclusive Rights Franchise Tag then you cannot tag any other players at all. However if you tag a player with the Non-Exclusive Rights Franchise Tag then you can still tag one more player with the Transition Tag.

    RFAs/ERFAs
    You must place a tender on all the RFA's and ERFA's you have that you plan to keep. Remember you get right to match the salary of what teams offer your players. If you do not, you get compensation based on the tender. ERFA's (Exclusive Rights) will be given a base salary and if they are tendered, no team will have an opportunity to offer that player a contract. Therefore these players can be added to your roster right away if tendered. However, RFA's cannot be added to your roster right away as teams may offer them contracts in the first 24 hours of free agency.

    Trading A Tagged or Tendered Player
    You may trade tagged or tendered players when said player is officially on your roster. However the player cannot be cut. This includes if the player is traded to a new team, he still cannot be cut.

    Free Agency
    To acquire free agents, we will use a bid format here on the forums.

    All the bids will be able to be seen as it stands and the highest bid that goes 48 hours without being matched wins.

    You can cut a player you signed in free agency only if you signed him to less than $400K

    Teams cannot bid on more than 10 players at a time, nor go over the salary cap. Meaning do not bid more money than you have. If we catch anyone doing this, all bids will be forfeited.

    2012 GM League NFL Draft
    The 2012 GM League Draft will be held at a date and time to be determined. We will do a full 7 round draft. Time limits and such will be discussed days before the draft.

    If you are going to miss your draft slot send a bullpen list to either the two GM League Moderators (GridIronKing34 or Saint Greg) or one of the Draft Committee members to automatically make your pick.

    A bullpen list will look like this:

    Team A
    1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford (if not available, go to pick 2)
    2. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State (if not available, go to pick 3)
    3. Matt Kalil, OT, USC

    You get the general idea...

    From the second round on, the picks will be done as soon as possible in the same format as the first round. If you are not available leave a
    bullpen list to choose from.

    Draft Pick Salaries
    We will have draft pick salaries. You will need to keep track of your picks and what they will cost to ensure you do not go over the cap on draft day. Rookie salaries will be determined by where they are drafted:

    First round selections:
    1 - 5 pick: $950,000
    6 - 10 Pick: $900,000
    11 - 20 Pick: $850,000
    21 - 32 Pick: $800,000

    Other round selections:
    2nd round: $550,000
    3rd round: $450,000
    4th-7th round: $350,000
