Drop Penalty?

Drop Penalty?

Postby coachcbjii » Wed Dec 14, 2022 3:32 pm

Hi Brooks,
When we release a player is the Drop Penalty kick in for the current year's salary or for the total Remaining contract?

Example:
Player A is making $5 million a year for 4 years and we cut him with a 10% Drop Penalty.
Is our drop penalty - A) $500k (10% of $5 mil annual salary), B) $2 million (10% of the $20 mil total contract) or C) something else

Thank you

And are retirement penalties handled the exact same way as Drop Penalties?

Both retirement and cut penalties are calculated per year. So 4 years, 5mil at 10% penalty would be 500k in the lost salary bucket for each year.
