Season & offseason

Trades

Review modes, salary retention, cap-space trading, and the tools that find you a deal.

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. With league voting, the default is a majority of all managers within a 48-hour window (configurable from 24 hours up to a week, in 24-hour steps) — uncast votes count as no under the default rule, so silence never passes a bad trade.

Trade deadline

Commissioners can set a trade deadline week, after which in-season trading closes until the offseason. There's no deadline by default.

Salary retention

You can retain part of a traded player's salary, keeping some of his cap hit on your books to make the deal work for the other side. It's the grease that closes trades between a cap-rich rebuilder and a cap-poor contender.

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.

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.
