[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1223200, member: 73592"] The Wuss&Wasps player are already off their panic contracts. Salaries are certainly averaged put for marquee players. I believe they are (certainlyy used to be) averaged out for everyone in terms of the salary cap. But I can see there being a loophole in things like academy credits still qualifying, despite back loading. I'd be confident that it would have been cleared with the cap comissioner though, it too obviously feels wrong, even if allowed by the letter. My understanding would be "Pepper's salary counts as £1,666k a year, but that first year you can put £40k of that outside the cap" but I absolutely reserve the right to be wrong. Underhill has a contract for next year, so would have been expected to fulfill it when we signed Pepper, but I suspect we're expecting him to be off after that. Of course, we won't be obliged to even offer him one if we need the space. [/QUOTE]
