Roster
-There is no minimum to how many you can carry on your roster at any time
-There is a limit to your roster of 28 in the off-season.
-After the 3rd NFL preseason game, you must then cut down to the 26 man (regular season) roster and be under the salary cap.
-If you have less than a minimum at a starting spot (example: only have 1 DL or no K) is the only time you're allowed to have additional bench spots (over the standard 12 bench spots in-season, 14 in off-season)
-If a player is cut from his NFL roster, he is still eligible for your team & keep his previous salary, but to keep him you will switch to his new contract if/when he signs with a new team.
(At which time, you must contact the staff to properly have a player's salary changed/updated)
-If a player retires from the NFL, it's up to you to drop the player, however if you keep him his salary remains on your cap until you drop him.
Injured Reserve
-Each team will has THREE (3) Injured Reserve (IR) spots.
-The only players eligible for this position are those that have been placed on IR by their NFL teams (source: espn.com).
**It does not give you anything other than a free roster spot to sign his replacement.
-Once you place a player in your IR spot, you may not reactivate, trade or drop him until the start of the coming off-season. You may start a season with a player on IR (If only placed on IR officially by NFL prior to our cutdown), he will not count as one of your 24 roster spots. You may use the IR IF the player was placed on IR during NFL pre/regular season.
-Any player placed on DFL IR's salary does not count against the cap.
Rookies
-Rookies selected in the Rookie Draft only do NOT immediately count against your roster space or cap space
*Rookies signed via Off-Season Free Agency immediately go in the team's roster just like any veteran Free Agent
-For Rookie roster decisions the deadline, each year, will be the Sunday before Week 1 at 12pm EST for the following:
-There will be 2 different boards, both found in "Roster Decisions", in regards to different actions that can be taken with Rookies
1) Rookie Cutdown
*This board will ONLY be used to post owners intention to cut/drop rookies from your team and into free agency.
*Rookies cut from rosters before the deadline will NOT count against your cap
2) Practice Squad
*Any rookies still listed on your roster after cutdown deadline passes, without any visual decision, will automatically be promoted to your ACTIVE ROSTER
*If this puts you over cap/roster limit, you will NOT be given a free drop and will take penalty for any drops needed to make roster legal
Practice Squad
-Only 1st-year rookies, taken in Rookie Draft or signed after draft as a FA
*Must post intention to move player to PS in correct Practice Squad (PS) thread*
-Once a player has been placed on PS, NO other player can be placed
-Player must be promoted to the active roster in order to be cut or traded
-Even if player is promoted to roster/traded prior to PS deadline, no other player can be placed on PS
-Must have empty spot on active roster AND cap space to cover his salary to activate PS player
-If player is activated, his salary will be determined by:
*Round in which he was selected in Rookie Draft
*Salary player was signed for in FA following Rookie Draft
