Alright, we've taken everyone's opinions into consideration and here is the revised/finalized amnesty clause. Changes are bolded:
-Every current owner will receive one (1) amnesty clause.
-Every new owner who joins the league will receive an amnesty clause to use.
-This amnesty clause can be used to release any player on your team, with either no, or a lowered cap penalty. If the player's salary is below or equal to $20M a year, you will not need to pay anything after amnestying him. If the player costs over $20M per season, you will pay 50% of all salary above $20M for the duration of the contract. For example, if I have a player for $32M signed through 2014, I would owe $6M through 2014 after amnestying him.
-After being amnestied, a player will go to waivers. If he costs under $20M and is claimed, the claiming owner will owe him all of his salary. If he costs over $20M, the claiming owner will be responsible for all salary that the waiving owner is not paying. For example, after amnestying my $32M player, if he is claimed the claiming owner would owe him $26M a season.
-If the player goes unclaimed, he will become a normal FA to be bid on.
-Amnesty clauses are not tradable.
-Once you've used your amnesty clause you will not receive another one, so be smart about it.
