Can anyone explain to me why you have to have any money in your salary cap to buyout a player you've already paid for in full? I would think the purpose of a buyout is to recoup 1/2 of the salary that you paid for the player.

I’m guessing because the player has not been actually been paid for in full.

If the length of a player's remaining contract is more than two years, 1/2 of the total salary is larger than the salary this year. You tried to buy out Quantrill's 3-year contract. ($10.5 of total salary) Then you need at least $5.25 of cap space to buy out him. |

If you have a one year buyout at $3/1 = 1.5. You will have net gain of +1.5 to your current year cap.
If you have a two year buyout at $3/2 = 3 You will break even to your current year cap. Future year 0 cap loss.
If you have a three year buyout at $3/3 = 4.5. You will have a net lose of -1.5 to your current year cap. Future years 0 cap loss.
If you have a four year buyout at $3/4 = 6. You will have a net lose of -3 to your current year cap. Future years 0 cap lose.
That’s how the math works.
In summary……Any buyout over 2 years will cost you extra cap dollars in the current year.
