Also, I'm going out of town starting tomorrow morning and probably won't get on the internet again until Sunday night. If my free agent pick-up for Greg Toler - DB, ARI doesn't get processed by tomorrow morning, would the commissioner who adds Toler be kind enough to insert him into my starting lineup? I would really appreciate it.

Any chance we could see an updated spreedsheet soon, Lee and Gonzo were both cut by me and im interested in my cap figure.

I'd second this.

Sorry, I tried to do it from work the other day and for some reason it wasn't working. I will try to get it up sometime today

I think this has happened only 1 maybe 2 times, so there is not a specific thread for this. C Ivory was cut and then picked up by another team the following week - that means his cap hit will be taken off the books for Steelers.

180,769 added back to cap

Question - What are the cap implications of picking up a player via free agency that I dropped last week? Does that negate the cap hit?

Yes, dream touched on that in the post above yours, and from the rules & settings:

NOTE: Any salary cap penalties for releasing players will be applied immediately after that player's release, and then removed if the player is claimed within one week, to prevent any team from inadvertently exceeding the salary cap.

Right I was asking for clarification in the case that it was me picking up the same player I just dropped. Not someone else picking up a player I dropped. Does that make sense?

I actually noticed that that could now happen. Currently, there is not a rule to prevent it(as it is written). It wouldn't make much sense to do and would happen rarely. I have marked it down to take a look at in the off-season.

So, to answer your question - yes, currently, that would negate the cap hit.

Just for the record, I'm putting Kiwanuka on IR.
