Lets say I drop someone one day and as soon as he comes off waivers someone starts an auction on him and wins him. Then he dislocates a finger, so he gets dropped again. All of this happens in the course of 7 days. Would I be able to re-draft him? or would I still be under the 30 day clock and have to wait another 23 days?

You have to wait 30 days after cutting someone to reacquire them no matter any other transactions.

What if you trade someone and he is then dropped? Can you pick him back up right away off waivers?

Searching the forums for “trade cut” I found this thread

> I went through and read the message board posts on this reading the arguments. I think first off, something like this needs to be written in the comments of the trade. That’s essential and lets everyone know what is happening. Otherwise I think it can be considered collusion. I’ve done a lot of creative trades and pushed the boundary on things like this. But I think the issue here stems from the fact that you have 2 teams working together to reduce cap penalties for each other. I agree that…
