Because of decisions made before, a team like ours would be fucked over because of this, but because we have players willing to take 500k it works.

I don't see how a league should force players to take a salary they don't want.

If you want to put minimums on contracts, it should be universal but even then that is the league making a player doing something they may not want to do[/b]

Obviously there'd be a transition-period, so that teams that relied on the old rules wouldn't be fucked.

Minimum salaries would make the cap actually mean something though. Right now, if you assume 10M for training camp, that still leaves 60M for contracts, so you could sign 20 players at 3M. A team shouldn't be able to have a player at the level of you or Hogan for only 500k.[/quote]

This is the reason.
