With all the new salary options, particularly in terms of structure, I think it would be very helpful to include an "evaluator" tool on the trading screen.

Here's what I mean...

Say you select a player from your roster on the trade screen and his salary is $5 million. Then you pick a player from the other team's roster who has a salary of $3 million. The evaluator would display "+2,000,000" to show that the trade would result in a relief of $2 million for your team. Then, say you added another play from the other team's roster who had a salary of $1 million. The evaluator would then show "+1,000,000". Finally, you add a third player whose salary is $2 million. The evaluator would then show "-1,000,000".

This would just make putting trades together a little easier. This would especially be true if it would take into account the remaining amount of money left on the players' contracts, as opposed to just looking at the entire value of the contracts.

Considering you will have a team budget (not to mention some leagues that have a hard salary cap) it would eliminate some of the guesswork, or at least keep us from having to do the math ourselves

I'd hope that since this is essentially just a glorified calculator, it wouldn't be too difficult to implement.
