Trades in Capr move more than players: picks, salary obligations, and even raw cap space can change hands. The cap makes every deal two-sided in a way redraft trades never are. You're trading contracts, not just names.
Review modes
Your league picks how accepted trades are reviewed before they execute: commissioner review, a league vote, or immediate execution. The review window is one setting shared by both review modes, 48 hours by default and configurable from 24 hours up to a week in 24-hour steps.
Under a league vote, the default rule is a majority of all managers and uncast votes count as no, so silence never passes a bad trade. Leagues can instead count only the votes actually cast, or set a veto threshold, where a trade passes unless enough managers vote it down.
Trade deadline
Commissioners can set a trade deadline week, after which in-season trading closes until the offseason. There's no deadline by default.
Trading cap space
Cap space itself is a tradeable asset, but with an anti-fire-sale limit: the cap space you send in a trade can't exceed 25% of the salary you're sending out in that same deal (by default). Rebuilders can still sell veterans for picks; they just can't dump every contract for free and warp the league's economy.
Trade auctions
A trade auction inverts the usual flow. Instead of sending offers one at a time and waiting, you list a player or a pick and let the league bid packages for it. Offers stack in a ladder you can compare side by side, and you choose the winner rather than the clock choosing for you.
Selecting a new winner with less than 12 hours left resets the clock to 12, so a late switch can never end the auction before the other bidders can answer it. After expiry you keep a review window to move to a better pending offer. Sealed offers, where rival bidders can't see each other's packages, are allowed unless your commissioner turns them off.
Trade auction defaults
- Auction length
- Default 48 hoursRange 12 hours to 7 days
- Set per auction, within the league's bounds.
- Anti-snipe reset
- Default 12 hoursRange —
- Choosing a new winner with less time left than this resets the clock to it.
- Review window
- Default 12 hoursRange —
- After expiry, how long the seller can still switch to a better pending offer.
- Live auctions per team
- Default 2Range —
- How many a team may run at once.
- Quiet hours
- Default OffRange —
- When set, the clock pauses through the window and picks up with the time that was left, so nothing settles at 4am and nobody loses bidding time overnight.
Tools for finding a deal
Put players on your trade block to signal availability. The trade calculator values any package, including future picks, which are discounted per year out and adjusted for team context. And when you know what you need but not who to call, the trade finder scans every roster in the league for fits.
