What wage is a player that gets promoted from the taxi squad?

If I put CEH on the taxi squad, does that open me up to create a new contract for him? Or is the whole years thing just for rookies that got placed on the taxi squad when they were drafted and just being promoted now?

The salaries for promoted players are the first post in this thread, it goes up depending on how long they've been on the taxi squad for. It's 10% of the transition tag, then 15% for second year, 20% for third etc.

Yeah, only guys who are already there from previous years or 2021 2nd-6th round picks get the salary reset. Anyone else you have eligible for the taxi squad on the league site keeps their current deal.

Thanks man, also do I have to have 34 players? Or I can just have any amount as long as I can fill a starting lineup?

Where is the auction taking place?

Yeah, as long as you have a starting line up, 34 is just a max.
Auction is on the league site.

Cut Kenny Willekes and Tanner Muse direct from my taxi squad.

Demoted Clelin Ferrell and Chuba Hubbard to the taxi squad.

Promoting Tony Pollard from the taxi squad.

Am I right in saying he should be $6,000?

If so, I’ll give him 3 years, thanks.

Can I also get a clarification - if I’m to demote someone now to the taxi, I’d save the $1,000 on the cap, but then to promote him, it’d end up costing more, wouldn’t it? But if I cut him from the taxi squad, would there be a cap hit? Sorry for the dumb question.

Pollard will be $9,000 as he's in his third year on the taxi squad.

Only rookies demoted before the season can be cut from the taxi squad without a cap hit as they get their contract reset. Regular cap hit for 2nd year+ players or rookies demoted since the season began.

Ok thanks.

Tough decision on Pollard. $9000 is a lot for a backup RB. I think I’ll still give him 3 years… 😬
