WWW Rules:
2.15 Winter Waiver Wire (WWW). During the time period after card values are released and the cut lists are due, the Commissioner shall convene a WWW process. During this process teams may choose to make one or more of their players available for the WWW. Once the list of players on the WWW is published, the teams will take turns selecting a player or passing in Priority Order (as defined in section 4). Each team has as long as 24 hours to select a player or pass (or be deemed to have passed), although it is hoped that the process will move much more quickly than that. A team that passes can select a player for up to 24 hours after the time they passed, at which point their pass becomes permanent. The process shall last for two rounds. Any player put up for the WWW that is not selected remains on their current team and the owner will have to make the retain / cut decision at cut date.
2.16 Winter Waiver Wire Impact on Contract Values. When a player is selected on the WWW, the purchasing owner shall have the player’s contract reduced by 50% (rounded up as always). The contract expiration date shall remain unchanged. The new team will not have RFA rights. The team that released the player in the WWW process shall make a severance payment to the player equal to half of what the severance payment would have been under the contract had the player been cut (rounded up). Term Cut and Full Cut options will apply as contained elsewhere in the rules.
2.17 Richard Hidalgo Rule – Part 2. No conspiracy. A player who is put on the WWW by one team may not be claimed off the WWW by another team of the same ownership. Further, any player claimed on the WWW that is subsequently cut or waived will cost the new team the cut cost of the ORIGINAL contract.
