Demote WR Brandon Lafell CAR back to TS

Burt the Butcher · October 11th, 2011, 11:47 AM

he was active 5 weeks....add 125cb to his salary..takes him to 290cb/3 yrs

So the active bonus goes in effect with the demotion? I thought the increase kicked in during the off season...so my Mark Sanchez after 4 week promotion goes from 351/3 to 451/3 and I have to have room for his 451 salary if I re-promote him this season.
Got it. Thanks!

Correct you are John

This demotion back to TS resulted in a TS Contract Years violation. Please see updated roster app for reference (also confirmed with MFL site).

Commish, how should this be handled?

My interpretation of the rules would be since there was not room on my TS, he should be released. Since his contract was guaranteed, normal penalties would apply, since I believe this is my first offense this year. I would say it should be what his salary was before the bonuses, since I did not have room for him to stay on TS, thus no bonus would apply.

So he would have been cut with a 165cb/3 yrs contract (app has him at 4 years..he is only at 3), with a total 71cb penalty. By my calculations, I should have had enough room up to my signing of Bell. But my signing of Bell puts me over...I just cut Shiancoe, but that would not get me enough to keep Bell...so if this is the ruling, I will have to make another cut...

I think that's fair. Hopefully Jim can provide us with a ruling soon.

I think Burt's on the money here. Since there wasn't room to have him demoted back to the TS... and since the 24-hour window has passed... the only recourse is to have him released as a free agent, retroactive to the moment the 24-hour window passed. His contract does not have to have the "active to TS" cbs added, since he was never officially put back on the TS. All other penalties apply for a first-time offender.

You will, of course, have to register as a salary cap offender with the homeowners' association in your area, though, Burt. ;)
