Hope everyone is having a great thanksgiving weekend!
We're getting a good warm up into the pre season now, let us know if anything seems off and we'll see what can be adjusted. EG: sky high penalties for some reason so I've dialed it back by 50% to see how much that affects things.
Salary Cap 101. Respect the cap! 
Just a little reminder that we need to respect the cap. It will prevent us from simming games. Sim problems makes me grumpy. So don't go over cap. Reminder: Yes the cap is 73mil in the pro and 2.644mil in the farm and the cap floor is 54mil in the pro. HOWEVER, ​Preseason right now doesn't enforce your line ups. You also need room to be able to comfortably move players up and down the farm and sit in your pro scratch for injuries. Allow me to highlight potential issues (numbers below are before the results of today's signings):
Numbers from Team Finance Pages and the sim client also as a finance button to tell you the numbers after you adjust your roster.
