The league salary cap will be set at $65 million. It will increase by $2.5 million each year.
The hard cap is $90 million. Teams cannot make a trade that increases there team salary if they are over the hard cap.
You can exceed the soft cap when re-signing your own free agents or picking up team or player options, but you cannot exceed the hard cap while doing so. However, sign and trades are allowed in this league.

There is also a $5 million staffing salary cap that you must use to hire your head coach and assistant.

The MLE will be worth $6 million. There will be no biannual exception.

By the way, we cannot split the MLE into several parts can we?

No, you cannot split up the MLE. Good question.

So if we are over the cap, we can either offer the league min ($500,000), the vet min ($1,000,000), or the FULL $6,000,000 MLE. I can't even just offer like 4 mil of an MLE to a player and not give the other 2 mil to anyone? That just promotes players getting overpaid if you ask me. That, or I won't bid on someone, and then that player ends up getting underpaid (could have had 4 mil from me from my MLE, but instead will only get 2 mil from somewhere else)...that's just an example of what could happen, I know of no specific instances right now.
Gotta say, I don't like that we either go a full $6,000,000 or not at all on the MLE. IRL they can split their MLE.
What about a compromise, where you can only split it to 2 or 3 players max?

the problem is keeping track of who spent how much of their MLE on who and how much of their MLE they have left.

OK you can split up your MLE between a max of two players but if anyone goes over their $6 million MLE they automatically forfeit both FA's and a draft pick.

Just make it each managers' responsibility to keep track of their MLE. In the signing, they have to post "using 'x' amount of my mle, now have 'x' amount left" or something.
This is a good decision IMO.

Ya. But I don't want anyone using more than they have and using confusion as an excuse. So there will be the FA foreiting and draft pick loss as punishment to keep it from happening.
