Cap Discussion

  • IND uses Minimum Player Salary Exception to sign Brown over the Salary Cap;
  • Because he’s signed during the season, it is considered a “Rest-of-Season” Contract;
  • Because it’s for two seasons, the minimum salary is not subsidized down to that of a player with 2 Years of Service ($2,087,519).  Thus the minimum salary is that of a player with 5 YOS, $2,425,403, prorated as of the date of signing, $2,021,169.
  • Can’t be traded for three months (2/20/25), thus Brown cannot be included in a trade before his contract expires as it is after the trade deadline
