We had a problem during the divisional round sim where Dallas had the AI cut all its players except 2 and sign a bunch of players to minimum contracts. A new owner had just taken over the team and cut 6 players. During the next sim, he received a warning he was under the roster minimum and didnt have the cap space to sign any players to reach the minimum.

I have explained to the owner, after the fact that he could have offered a long term contract to a player or 2 with the goal of freeing up cap space but he wasnt aware of this at the time and took no action.

The owner is seeking a rollback of the sim but I believe it is unfair to the owners that won hard fought playoff games to advance to conference championship games that we had to do a do over and replay those games.

I want to do what's best for the owner in trouble but at the same time not destroy the integrity of the league.

I've asked all the owners not to make claims on the players the AI waived and have asked the owner to claim all his players back. I'm assuming the original owner would get the full contract back and not be hit with a hugh dead cap space for the cuts but I'm not 100% on that issue.

If he reclaims all his players and in fact still is hit with the dead cap number, is there any way to remove or void it for that owner.

I understand have the sims logic works but I dont believe it is fair to pay such a hugh price for a minor error on the owners fault. Is there anyway to address this issue in the future because this isnt the first time it has happened in other leagues

I believe the best remedy is like when one fixes their computer and I forget the exact terminology for it. But, basically, you set his roster back to 10/4/18 which wipes out the changes subsequent to that date and thus restores his roster.

But, no, please don't roll back the sim or touch previous results.

Cant do one without the other

Well the sim ran and he got all his players back but now he still has all the dead capspace for this year and next.

I need his dead cap space to be forgiving. It's only fair, is there anyway, you can do this please. If not then this franchise is ruined

I'm the owner so it was my fault, but I had no idea the sim would take such drastic action - I was expecting a cut or two and some minimum salary guys picked up, but yes all bar two went.

Talked this through with the league admin (CJfred68) last night and managed to cut all the min salary guys the AI picked up (may have kept a couple) and put claims in on everyone the AI dropped - the result of that is I have my roster basically back to where it was (bar one player who was claimed off waivers, thanks Carolina!), but my team still shows $104M in dead cap for next season, a result of all those nixed signing bonuses: because signing bonuses tend to run for more than one or two seasons, I'm already $38M over the cap for next season.

I've seen this happen in a couple of leagues (MFN-47 for one, can't recall the other) and there was a rollback done during the playoffs. It's far from ideal and I'm really sorry for the grief I've caused, but this team is too messed up now to fix any other way - you can't exactly write off $104M from the books, that isn't fair to the league either.

Now here's where JDB steps in and fixes it, hopefully. :)

The league admin is free to contact me by PM and I can adjust the dead cap at his discretion.
