One more question on this. So I have three players I want to keep, but only have about 8 mill in cap left. Right after the championship game.... during the end of the season cycle...... Are players in their last year of contract still on your team to negotiate without other teams...and... do we get refreshed on our cap for next season so we can sign away on without fear of negative balance causing the AI to rease my best player?
You have to remain under the salary cap when signing players, even during the last cycle. This was a loophole that was closed several seasons ago.
The cap goes up 5 percent each season. If you have some players who retire or walk away via free agency, that will give you a little more wiggle room when the next season begins.
