When do free agents stop counting against the teams cap?
When any one of the following three things happen: • The player signs a new contract with the same team. When this happens, the player’s effect on his team’s team salary is based on his new salary. • The player signs with a different team. As soon as this happens, the player becomes the new team’s problem, and his salary no longer counts against his old team. • The team renounces the player.
