After RFA bidding, a few rosters are approaching or have surpassed 60 players or $125M. Just a reminder that, within the parameters outlined below, that is okay. Surpassing the parameters below means transactions will be voided.
From Rule 6: Free Agent Process and Bidding...
"With regard to adherence to salary cap and roster size, Dynasty GM will relax the general rule during the off-season only to allow some flexibility in light of the blind bidding system. Each GM will be allowed to carry up to 5 extra players at any point in time during the auctions. During this off-season exercise, each franchise will be able to exceed their salary cap by up to $10M. You can utilize trading to free up roster and salary cap space. **A word to the wise...bid prudently."

**Please note the "during the auctions" part of the rule. Once RFA bids have all been processed, GMs will have 72 hours to get their rosters into compliance. The same goes for UFA later in the offseason. GMs may not carry extra players or cap throughout the offseason**
