Also a couple of clarifications regarding Cuts during FA:
Any cut made during Free Agency WILL be available during the follow FA round. I.E. If Pooh Richardson was cut after Round 2, he will be available to be signed during Round 3.
Any cuts made before Training Camp WILL be available for Free For All Free Agency. This is to prevent teams from stockpiling players and cutting them pre-TC to prevent those players from being available during FFA.
Waivers do not kick in until after FFA starts. I.e. if you sign a player in FFA then cut him, that player will then follow the usual in-season Waiver system (cannot be signed until after 8PM the following day).
