Bad salary cap situation

By Michael77

Hey, so I was eliminated from playoffs with just the championship game left to play. Without thinking I cut some of my players to bring my roster to 43. I didn't know I had to have a minimum of 45. So with that one game left, and my team eliminated, I need to sign two players or the CPU will. However, I don't have enough salary cap left to sign any players for the minimum amounts. So what is gonna happen? If the CPU cuts any players of mine that are good, I will probably quit the league, so this is serious. Please tell me what to do. I have until tomorrow evening.

same thing happened to Grandad in Custom 35 ( https://cust35.myfootballnow.com/team/27 ) which he cut people and it could have cost him so only thing i can think of is PM him and ask him how he was able to do it or maybe hope same thing happened to him happens to you and it wont screw up team

Please....you act like the world is gonna end. So, you're gonna quit a league because YOU messed up? Classy.
Whatever happened to learning from your mistakes and moving on?

Maybe you and punisher can figure it out.

Just cut one guy and sign three? At least AI won't control your fate.

The issue is though cutting a player at this stage saves nothing against the cap.

Hmmm. His cap reads 1.3 . So maybe there is a discrepancy when he signs guys. Still, I would cut a player like Bug. 2023 $725,839 base $62,012 bonus . That's 700,000. Could the ai work with that?

Yeah if I try to sign a player at the very minimum it says I would be at -633,616. However I am supposed to have at least a little cap left so I don't know what's going on.

I signed 3 players at the minimum and released Bugg just as you suggested and it was successful.
