Releasing a Player to Free Agency
A GM has the right to waive any player to free agency. To waive a player and drop him to free agency, you must post the player's name that you are releasing in a new thread in the board titled "Player Releases". This will make permanent the decision to waive a player to free agency. Once posted, there is no turning back. A GM will still be responsible for half of that player’s salary for the duration of the contract UNLESS that player is signed to a contract by another franchise; in which case, continued responsibility for that player's salary could be negated in full or reduced. If the players new contracts AAS is equal, or higher then the previous contract then your responsibility will be negated in full and that player will no longer count against your salary cap. If the AAS is lower, then you will still be responsible to pay half of that player's salary over the life of the previous contract. If said player remains unsigned, you must continue to count half of that player's salary against your cap until his contract expires.
