Incorrect salary for recently cut player

Keldon Johnson was recently cut in league 26. It appears from the transaction log for the league and on his player page that he had been rostered for $19. However, the ensuing auction appears to have allowed for a minimum bid of $5.

Any idea how that’s possible? Did the system interpret him as being cut a second time?

Shake&Bake was acquired on September 24, after the keeper deadline. I imagine they had a round of penalty-free cuts that they had not used.

You can keep an eye on teams that have penalty-free cuts in the commissioner tools under Current Managers.

Hmm okay. You’re correct they hadn’t made any cuts. Seems like this is on me as the commish - this team had payment issues so even though it was claimed, the team went back to the original owner.

I thought penalty-free cuts just meant no cap penalty on the team making them, not that there was no minimum bid anymore. Good to know!

Seems like a tricky edge case, honestly.
