Great post FRPLG. I agree with pretty much all of it.

The league minimum salary starts at $230K for rookies and increases based on the player's experience, up to $760K for 10 or more years. There is also this rule - "All minimum salaries for veterans with at least four years of experience will only count $455,000 against the team salary cap." But this only applies to players with a signing bonus of $25K or less (ie Ray Brown, not Samuels).[/QUOTE]
