How 10-day contracts work
Length. A 10-day contract runs ten days, counting the day it is signed. If the team plays fewer than three games in that window, it runs until the third game instead.
When. Standard 10-days can be signed from January 5 until the last ten days of the regular season. Before January 5, a team can only sign one through the hardship exception.
Hardship. The league grants a hardship exception when at least four of a team’s players have missed three straight games and are expected to be out at least two more weeks. A hardship 10-day does not use one of the 15 standard roster spots. A standard 10-day does.
Two and done. A team can sign the same player to two 10-day contracts. After the second, it has to sign him for the rest of the season or let him go.
Pay and the cap. A 10-day pays 10/174 of the player’s minimum salary. A veteran is paid his own minimum, but the team’s cap and tax charge stops at the two-year veteran rate, and the league covers the rest. The money stays on the team’s cap after the deal ends.
