Manager-facing explainer for the offseason portal.

How To Use This Portal

This portal is read-only. Review your cap, auction budget, rookie FAAB, future assets, and the multi-year contract matrix on your team page before submitting offseason decisions.

  1. Auction budget: How much auction room remains after non-rookie obligations and dead money.
  2. Cap used: Your current offseason obligations already on the books.
  3. Rookie FAAB deductions: Rookie salary charges assigned to the team currently rostering each rookie.
  4. Projected FAAB: Starting FAAB minus rookie deductions plus any unused auction additions.
  5. Team Pages contract matrix: Shows what each active contract costs by season, when the deal expires, and the likely next options for trade planning.
  6. Required This Offseason: Players who need action now before the auction or season.
  7. Future Expirations: Contracts that cover the upcoming season but expire after it.
  8. Optional Watchlist: Contracts worth monitoring early but not urgent right now.
  9. Released / Not Retained: Players already marked as released and no longer part of the active offseason decision queue.
  10. Free Agency Draft Board: A position-grouped board of players projected to be available for the free agency draft/auction after active 2026 contracts and protected rookies are excluded.
  11. How to submit decisions: Submit from your team page when possible. You may submit corrections, and the latest approved submission wins. Commissioner review is final. WhatsApp, text, or email decisions may still be entered manually by the commissioner, but the form is preferred.
