3) Until an RFA player has started the bidding process, his salary is counted towards the tendering owner (the initial declaration amount).
So, when does the salary drop from the tendering teams salary cap? After Decline/Match or once an initial bid is placed?

It's the later. Original rule was the former, and we voted a change to make RFA bidding less restrictive as it deflated the market with so many cap dollars tier up until a player was matched or declined. We clearly missed updating that section in the last rules update.
Here's the
2015 rules vote that made a 2014 trial of the change permanent.
