yup, so someone with not a lot of cap room might get screwed big time. so for instance if i had just enough or just a couple million wiggle room to take on percy harvin initially thru a legit trade, but then when i go to sign him after blade cuts him he wants 8mil, im screwed. so ive cut the player i was trading for harvin, and cant sign harvin. thats worst case scenario for someone.

just an example that wouldnt happen in my situation i dont think
