Haven't looked to see if this is do-able, in terms of rosters and money, but sounds good to me. I agree that ATG needs to be freshened up asap.

Leave it to the accountant to dig up trouble. :lol: 3M as a floor won't work because of the salary math (which I won't bore you with), unless you make it 100M.

Two suggestions:

1) Change it to 100M
2) Change the floor to 2M
