  1. The rules are different for players who sign a contract after age 35. They pretty much count one way or the other. I don’t see anything specific about what happens if the minimum salary goes up beyond already-signed contract salaries, but presumably you’re right.

    If said player was waived & assigned to the minors during any of the first 11 years and he opts to retire, that would be okay? I thought that the “Garth Snow” rule comes into effect: cap hit each year until expiration of the player’s contract

    A player signs a 4 year contract at $550,000 per year. The minimum salary is raised after two years; does the final 2 years of the contract become null & void? I was always under the impression that would be raised to the league minimum. I am glad that someone is looking out for the player’s “happiness”.

    Was this contract for a straight salary without “performance” bonuses?

    Can’t wait for Doug Weight’s contract: void for violating the cap floor!! What is the foor?

  3. Grebeshkov is one of them.
    Impression was that they retained Colliton’s rights, but not positive about that. Will check.

    Grebeshkov is one of them right?

    Was Jeremy Colliton quietly qualified again as he was on 6/29 of last summer after he signed with Rogle or were ties cut for good?

    Thank You
