This is another issue we have talked about in detail.
See here: legacynfl.boards.net/thread/4377/retired-player-cap-hit
The zero cap hit for retired players needs to be retired, and GM's that offer long term lucrative contracts need to be held accountable for their contractual agreements. While a few ideas have been tossed around, my proposal is very simple, whatever the cap hit at any point in time, that's what the cap hit will be for the duration of the retired players contract. For example, the cap hit in this league is currently 30%, any contract signed within the stated percentage will be held accountable until the agreed contract expires. If we were to raise or lower the cap hit, the those contracts signed within that time frame would take the cap hit that was agreed to for that period of time in the league. We would also grandfather clause any players that have been previously signed when there was a zero cap hit, but it is up to the team GM to provide the documented evidence of when this player was signed, you would need a link to the post for previous years free agent signing of that player.
