Now that the Commissioner has provided us with amended 2012 off-season rosters to check, owners face some difficult decisions.....and these decisions depend, no doubt, on whether or not (as discussed in email) the league will undergo expansion, and how expansion will take shape.
Some decisions, however, are easier to make. There are players you KNOW you don't want, and which are simply taking up space, and which are unlikely to be trade bait in the off-season, and (often) are a big hunk of your payroll. For players like that, there's no point holding on to them. Why "float" a player through the draft if you don't intend to retain them anyway, and their high salary makes it unlikely someone would draft them? Sure, you might get a draft pick, but chances are such players will be released and signed by other clubs as free agents anyway. There is really no penalty for releasing such players now....or at least that's the viewpoint of the St. Francis franchise:
