Is there a way to see which players are contributing to the dead cap number?

Retirements each season can aid in figuring out whom are the culprit, however, I'm unsure if there's a way of pulling up the final contract #s for retired players.

...this leads me into thinking if it would be an easy thing to have the dead cap link clickable on one's roster and once you get in to have a list of who is costing you and how much they're contributing to the dead cap. Player A, X amount of dollars.

That is an excellent idea.

I fail to understand why it would matter. They're players no longer on your team and there's nothing you can do to reduce the dead cap.

Right now it's a blind, in the dark, process.

It'd provide a cross reference to say 'oh, I got caught on the last two years of his contract at X amount.'

It'd allow you to look at the player, age and position set to take it moving forward and to re-calibrate future FA offers in order to better protect yourself.

Basically, reference point material.

Would be nice to see especially when you take over a team, just to get an idea of where the money was tied to.

(I think it's just more for your learning experiences, knowing where you went wrong when offering that vet that big deal when he was in his 12th season.) I think it would be a nice feature to have!
