Help with Fat Albert

[Meast21Forever]

I'm trying to get rid of him in my franchise. I can trade him for pretty good talent, which is great, but it always destroys my cap for the next season. I don't know what to do. How do I get him off my team?

well the CAP is off, so i dont even use one anymore...

see, i wanted to do that, but i don't want to do an entire franchise like that. if i could do just year 1 with it, then it'd be good.

anyone know any tricks to dealing high priced guys?

That's the beauty of it. It's just as hard in-game as IRL. The 'Skins were trying to move because and because of the no salary the could. So either have the salary cap on and keep him, or turn it off and trade/release him.

2 things you can really do man.

1. Trade/Cut him ..BUT take that huge cap hit. OR

2. Keep him on your team for a couple of years then get rid of him, if you did not want that crazy hit

Resign him to a one year deal with no bonus. Granted, it will be a HUGE contract most likely but then you can trade or release him with no cap hit. You can also choose not to resign him at the end of your franchise.

I never thought of that. If I resign him to a huge contract with no bonus, then trade him, I'm not responsible for any of his deal? Hm.. I may do that. I really just want him out of DC. He'll probably stay in real life, but I hate the dude.

I moved him back to DT, but if your intent on dumping him, trade him away for a top notch FS, and a DE to replace him with a low contract's. In the offseason dump Carter and his 5mil a yr.. that will free up a little, and then rework any high value 1yr contract players to a lower deal... that should free up enough money to make a few moves.
