I've suddenly gone over the cap! Is this a bug or a feature? I will need to trade my best players for draft picks to get back under. You can wait for me to spam everybody, or you can jump to the front of the line now. I want picks for next season, and in exchange you can get any player you want. I want to dump salary, and that way I don't have to trade so many.

I'm $-26,667,791 over the cap somehow too. This game...
I was well under the cap before the Draft but now I'm not.

Update: I'm not willing to trade many players that anybody should want. There's just one, and I'm renegotiating the contract first. So the mass slaughter that I feared isn't going to happen. The new plan is to wait until after the draft to see what the damage really is, and then cut my way to get back under the cap. This leaves me with tons of dead cap for next season, but it's the best bad option that I have right now.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to try to solve a problem caused by a bug. I don't know about you, but I was well below the cap before the draft, but now somehow I 'm over.
Greg, can you check this situation? Are we the only ones with this problem?

But maybe it's not a bug. Could it be just how this works, now?

Ugh, it just got worse. It seems the "Min for Remaining Players" figure on free-agent contracts and negotiations is not reliable. I can't trust it, the way I used to.

Yeah, I think the Min for Remaining Players number is the problem here because I was under the cap before the Draft...

Texas Hold Em is also in the same boat as you two. That's it for human owned teams, and I did not check the AI teams.
I wish I had an answer for you but I have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it. Hoping it's just a visual bug. Perhaps another league has been through this already, but for me, this is my first draft with the new UI and the XFL is kind of a test run for USFL.
If things are messy post draft, perhaps we may need another delay to clean things up.

I went through your 2 rosters and used cap cost. I didn't add every number but rounded some to get approx. 858 million used for Miami and 1.02 billion for Toronto.
I'm like Towelie in South Park...I don't know what's going on
