any help guys

You are supposed to be able to clear cap penalties under the 'user teams' section of the League Settings. Although every time I have tried, it does not save the cap wipe and nothing happens. Hopefully this is fixed with the incoming patch.

how come nothing works? so you have cap penalties and when you try and clear them they are still there?

how long do cap penalties last?

if a player has no signing bonus
 

if a player has no signing bonus and i trade him do i get a cap penalty?

Re: Clearing cap penalites
 

Til the remaining years of the contract expire. Releasing a player with 4 yrs left and a 2 mil penalty stays for the remaining years.

Actually the cap penalty is split across 2years. Current year and the next year

Re: if a player has no signing bonus
 

Correct. If there is no signing bonus, there is no penalty.

For this reason it is a good tactic to resign at the end of the year (provided you have the room) some of your back-ups (low OVR) to a couple/three years w/ no signing bonus in cases where you're not sure if you're going to find a better replacement in draft, or preseason free agency.

That way you can cut them if you don't need them without accruing penalties.
