2025-26 UFAs and Cuts

[agulati]

This list includes players that are 28 or older and have only one year left on their contract (prior to the rollover), therefore becoming UFA this summer. After the site rollover, these players will no longer show up on your team page, so please take a second and have a look at your team to see if there are any errors.

Remember you don't have to decide if you are cutting or not now. You can wait for re-rates and grids.

GMs can now post UFAs from her/his team that will not be re-signed. Once a player is posted as being cut, the player is cut - there will be no take backs.
