Correct me if I'm wrong guys but I believe my example here is incorrect. lol Because after you account for the three added picks - from trades - that puts you at your last pick being a 7th rounder. Now since you traded that 7th rounder your last (10th pick) automatically becomes your 8th round pick. Since your last pick is in the 8th round - and not the 7th round - you only need to add ONE more pick to cover for that 9th round pick you traded. So the correct answer is NOT releasing at least 12 players in this particular example - but 11. Is my correction correct? lmao
8) ***SEE BELOW FOR EXAMPLE***You cannot trade draft choices that you do not own. This means that if you trade a 9th round draft pick, you must release as many players as necessary to ensure that you will have a 9th round pick. For example, you have a 40 man roster, and you have acquired an extra 2nd, 3rd, and 6th round draft picks during the year. You have also traded away a 7th and 9th round draft pick. This means you must release at least 12 players prior to the draft to ensure that you will have a 9th round pick. If you plan to continue drafting beyond Round 9 you will have to release an additional player for each subsequent round. You cannot drop more than 15 players.
