☆Trades
At no time can a team trade cap money, but a trade can be made to split salary of a traded player between the 2 teams involved in the deal.
For example: I trade Patrick Mahomes to the Bears. Mahomes contract is 45mil 2021, 2022, 2023. The Bears cannot afford 45mil in cap space and are unable to make the trade. I can offer to keep some of the salary as dead cap money to lower the cost to the Bears. So I agree to keep 10mil of Mahomes yearly salary and the Bears will take 35mil. It would look like the following. Me – Dead Cap 10M (2021, 2022, 2023) / the Bears – Mahomes 35M (2021, 2022, 2023).
•Any trade involving the same team and players in the same season will be rejected.
•Trade deadline be week 7
•Each agreed upon trade must be posted in the "Trades" forum on Proboards. Both parties of the trade must post acceptance of the trade within a reasonable time (the poster of the trade is assumed to have accepted). Draft picks may be traded up to two years in the future. RFAs with expiring contracts may not be traded until they have been signed to new contracts.
Trades must include the name, position and contract terms of each player involved, the specific draft picks, and any other conditions. If a condition references statistics for a "season", it is assumed to be the entire 16 game NFL regular season (through week 17).
The trade post should resemble this proper format for a posted trade:
Team A and team B have agreed to a trade.
Team A will trade:
Aaron Rogers (QB-GBP) 15M (2021), 15M (2022) UFA
Chandler Jones (LB-ARZ) 5M (2021), 5M (2022), 5M (2023) UFA
To Team B for:
Carson Wentz (QB-PHI) 2M (2021), 2M (2022) UFA
2021 2.32 draft pick
2021 Cap Hit
+/- 18M
Proposed on MFL
(This is where the posting team will post their explanation of why they made the trade.)
The accepting team will then post their reasons for accepting the trade.
The Trade Committee will then vote and trade will either be approved or vetoed.
You must have salary cap available and space on your roster in order to trade for players. Players on waivers do not count towards your roster limit. You may conditionally waive a player or players to make room for your traded for players as detailed in the "Conditional Waivers" section.
Every trade must be approved by the league Trade Committee members. It takes 3 votes to approve a trade. If there are 3 votes to veto or deny a trade before 3 votes to approve, the trade is vetoed. If either team does not have salary cap or roster space available to complete the trade, it will automatically be void. Trade committee members cannot vote on their own trades. The Commissioner encourages the trade committee members to give a brief explanation detailing why they voted the way they did.
The trading deadline will be determined when the new weekly schedule comes out.
Once the trade deadline passes, trades will not be allowed until the league opens and trading is opened according to the offseason schedule.
