Asked Feb 10, 2021 by Matthew S

Do players who have been bought out count against a the 50 standard contract limit during the duration of said buyout? Example: If a player's buyout is spread out over four years, does it count as a standard contract against the limit for each of those four years?

Nope, the bought out contract does not count towards the 50 contract limit.
