Also, how is this......... release players from a Playoff teams rosters, so they can be put-up-for-bid to another team. Won't the team that releases the player(s) be hit with "salary cap penalties" for what ever contract the player(s) has signed at that time.
If that's the case, the teams that win Championships or even Division Champs, will be punished by, not only losing the players, but also take a likely costily Cap hit.........so the only way for this is to keep the damage done lesss (by the releasing team) is to sign any players that should be considered a candate for release, they should all be re-signed to 2 yr. contracts every other season. Minimizes Cap Hit..........better to pay less millions for a 2 yrs. contract than a binding 4, 5, or six year player ( this could be devestating to the Champs, in my opinion). All because they WON! OR The team that is "acquiring" the player(s) must have adequate "Cap Space" to take over the players entire remaining contract obligations. If they just bid on these players and get them cheaper, they (the bidders) should have the means to re-sign that player, he would belong to them now.
