I suggest that the rule next year be "Cap hits plus new contract" since the team is only on the hook for the cap hits, not the entire old contract after releasing him.
In my opinion, dropping a player before the deadline to clear room, resigning him and then dropping him again to save even more room on the original contract is clearly not a realistic situation. In my post, I invited counter arguments in case I was not seeing the entire picture, and still encourage anyone including yourself to discuss why this is realistic and should be allowed. Furthermore, I would like to hear if anyone thought this was within the original intent of the rules, as that would change my stance on whether or not it should be permitted. This is just my personal stance, obviously the league and/or commish may be of the opinion that for this season we go by the letter as it's written and judging by Colby's earlier post it seems he's of the opinion it should be allowed for now.My comment about being an RC member was that I would expect us to all work by the intention of the rules we write and bring up any loopholes during rule creation or as a modification proposal rather than after we use it as a loophole. Re-reading my post, I understand why it could be interpreted as condescending and I apologize for that, it was not my intention - my bad.
