Another reminder for your cut-down decisions...

Veterans who are on your week 1 roster to start the season have their contracts fully guaranteed, so keep that in mind when keeping a veteran. If you cut them even in week 2, they'll still get their full annual salary against the cap. In the NFL, teams often may cut a veteran before the season and then sign them back after week 1 when their salary isn't guaranteed all year.

Also remember that players who have grades now but end up being cut in reality and no longer in the NFL since will have their grades cut 25% if they are no longer in the league after week 4.

For the regular season teams get one extra restructure available, as it's difficult to create cap space during a season once players getting paid and with guarantees. That's been added now.

FYI I've added the schedules for the season ahead, that you can find on your team roster page under schedule link. Let me know if any problems. Our sim season schedule is the same as the NFL schedule. Thanks!
