Player Salaries Salaries for individual players will be taken from the USA Today Salary Database between now and the start date and are frozen for the entire span of the season. There is only one way a players 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. 2010 Salary Cap The salary cap for the 2010 GM League will be determined in the near future. 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). The 2010 Franchise/Transition numbers will be determined and posted in the near future. 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. 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. 2010 GM League NFL Draft The 2010 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 or one of the Draft Committee members to automatically make your pick. A bullpen list will look like this: Team A 1. DE Chris Long (if he is not available go to pick 2) 2. QB Matt Ryan (if he is not available go to pick 3) 3. RB Darren McFadden 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: $850,000 6 - 10 Pick: $800,000 11 - 20 Pick: $750,000 21 - 32 Pick: $700,000 Other round selections: 2nd round: $650,000 3rd round: $550,000 4th-7th round: $400,000
So, we have to look up each players Salary individually? I couldn't get that database to show entire team at one time. Just askin..
You should see drop down options. One that says "team" click that. Then you need to click on the year, and it will have a dropdown of every player in ABC order. After that you can click to sort by position.
And we are going by 2009 Salaries and Cap number....correct? Just want to make sure everybody's on the same page here.
I used the 2009 salaries. I read a post where GIK said he got an email from USA Today saying 2010 salaries arent available til fall.
