Vader if we delist a player tomorrow, pay them out and then fail to draft a replacement and re-rookie the player we delist on the same salary - do we have to pay them double the wage effectively?

You mentioned if someone else paid their wage in a future year we wouldn't have to pay it?

Ill take a crack

They don't get paid out until they aren't picked up again – by us or someone else.

If we delist say smith and rookie him, he comes back in on the same contract. (this is what will happen)
If someone else picks smith up, we pay whatever we owed him less his salary with the new club. (definitely won't happen)
If no one picks him up and we draft someone else, we pay him out the full amount. (also won't happen)
