OK, one more suggestion for the taxi squad. I think one thing we would need to prevent is teams moving elligible players to the taxi squad in order to cut them and save the active roster the cap hit to the active roster salary cap (ie, if I signed a half ass receiver this off season, I could move quarter ass receiver Bryant Johnson back to the taxi squad, and then cut him without a cap hit to my active roster). I think that is a cheap out, so I think we should have a rule that if a player has been active for a certain number of weeks, say 3, then releasing that player carries a cap hit to the active roster even if they are released from the taxi squad. The number of active weeks resulting in the cap hit is debatable, but I think we would need some number there.
