Is the 250cb penalty final?

250 seems steep seeing as I free'd up all of 50 cbs in the mistaken IR move (his salary is 100), didn't use the roster spot, didn't use any of the cap money free'd up by the move (I already had plenty of cap to pickup Carter yesterday, and had 1333 cb's invested in TE/K/D positions), notified the league of my error, and made an immediate effort to rectify the situation by bidding on a Defense which I won this afternoon. I'll also add that he's questionable again this week, and I gained nothing in my accidental move except 1 less mandatory week he must spend on IR.

This situation isn't quite the same as previous infractions where we assessed 250 penalties. I'll accept whatever penalty is ultimately decided... and DO feel some penalty is approriate, but IMO we really need to fix this rule, and we just screwed the pooch by not addressing it for the 3rd off-season in a row.

I'd suggest the following penalty as being fair for the circumstances... as well as a precedent to follow the remainder of the season (assuming teams who mess up make efforts to remedy the error ASAP).

My proposed penalty:
- a 50 cb penalty for screwing up in this case (this is equivelent to the cb's I free'd up (but didn't use) with the move)

- an additional mandatory week on IR for Lewis so that there was absolutely nothing gained by my team in this screw up.

Final thoughts?
