Here is an example.

Now, I know what someone will say. The $ left if ext signed is in the negative and that is why it cannot go thru. (Revenue controls budget)

But that isn't correct.

Because the $ available is already assuming that this player is receiving an arb offer of 2.4m from the salaries page to account for the expenses that lead to that number.

So if I made an offer of 2.5, I'd agree that it should be stopped. But, financially it makes no sense - logically it doesn't either because this player will be allowed to go to arb and likely get more than his estimate from a hearing.

Further, If I change his arb offer to a $0, that $ available stays the same. It shouldn't. Not if its totaling a projected arb value against the $ avail.
