The following players are holdouts and will increase their salary to the amount listed next to them. If you choose to drop a holdout player due to his increased salary, his salary cap penalty will be based on his salary before the holdout - the deadline for this is March 10th (says March 1st in the bylaws, but the holdouts are announced too close to March 1st - so we'll give it another 10 days). We will extend the deadline until March 13th due to MFL downtime from March 7th to March 9th. Cap penalties from drops after March 10 will be based on the holdout salary.

From the bylaws (we only have Stage 1 holdouts this season)
12) Holdouts
a) Holdout Immunity - Rookies are immune from holdouts for the first 2 years after they enter the league. A player signed to a 5 year contract has immunity from holdout for the first 2 contract years. A player signed to a 4 year contract has immunity from holdout for 1 contract year. Remember that holdout considerations occur BEFORE the start of the next year. So if Player A was signed to a 5 year extension in week 4 of 2013, he would be ineligible for a holdout for his performance in 2013 or in 2014.
b) Holdouts will be incorporated to bring top ranked players at their position into line with their peers. At the end of the completed fantasy season (week 16), any player whose end-of-year stats, as per the league website, place the player in the defined top tier at the players position, he is then subject to examination as a possible holdout candidate.
c) Positional tiers are defined as follows:
Top 10: QB, TE, DT
Top 15: RB, DE, CB, S
Top 20: WR, LB
Excluded: PK,
d) If a top tier player is making less than 1/2 of the average salary of the highest paid players based on the position tiers in Section 12 c), the player is considered a "Stage 1 holdout player".
e) A Stage 1 holdout player gets 50% of his holdout position salary (1/2 of the average of the highest paid players based on his position tier).
For example, if player A (RB) is currently on $10 contract and finishes in the top 15 for his position and the average of the top 15 highest paid players is $100, ½ of that is $50 so his Stage 1 holdout salary would become $50. Contract years do not change.
f) If a Stage 1 Holdout player is dropped prior to March 1st, the salary cap penalty would be based on the original contract. After March 1st, the Stage 1 Holdout salary comes into effect.
g) A Stage 1 Holdout player is eligible to sign a contract extension, but, unless the contract extension is made to be equal to the average of the highest paid players based on his position tier in year 1 of the contract, the player retains his holdout status.
