8D.2, Releasing Players
Passed 14 - 1
Players with 1 year contracts that are released near the end of or after
the season, that were not available for a regular FA signing, will be
entered into the RFA signing period with no team able to match the bid (highest bid wins). Players may not be released from the start of the
RFA period through Rookie and Free Agent Draft.
(note: This rule is intended to keep a team with a
high draft pick in the coming draft from dropping a high profile player with
a 1 year contract at the end of a season, making the player available in the
draft to re-sign for multiple years before another team had a chance to sign
the player.)
