Zeke 5 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 Can anyone enlighten me as to how players on IR affect the teams cap space? Is there a reason why Kenny is not placing Homer on IR,even though we all know he will miss the required 10 games? Will this not help us lower our cap hit,as their salaries will not count? I know players can be placed retroactively on IR,but why the delay with Homer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

commadore183 103 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 no need too, have the cap space already with Stuart on IR So, when Stuart gets back, will Homer be put on LTIR retroactively to keep the cap space and still be able to bring up the GR guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LTIR players DO count towards the cap, but you're allowed to replace their salary while the player is out. If you're not going to replace the player with a call-up, then it doesn't make a difference if you put the guy on IR or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, this makes so much sense in other areas where I've had similar questions. Thanks for posting this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
