Question in response to this, does this mean we don't have to count DL players toward our salary cap?

Been a day and 1/2 since I asked that question, anyone know?

Sorry, I don't think people get on here very often anymore because there isn't really anything going on here. It's mostly all on ESPN, I know I only check in maybe once a week or so.
Anyway, to answer your question. You are correct. When you put players on the DL you are no longer responsible for their salary as long as they stay on the DL. Obviously, once they are activated then you have to add them to your team salary. I guess it's nice for teams that don't have much cap space, so when someone gets hurt they have enough money to sign a replacement. Makes sense.

Arizona is correct. When a player is on your DL, his salary does not count against your cap. Sorry, I didn't see your question before I left Friday and I don't have internet at home right now.
