This exception allows a team to replace a player who has been injured and will be out the rest of the season or for the entire next season (if the injury occurs during the off-season).
The team's selected replacement player may be signed for a maximum salary of either 50% of the injured player's salary, or the mid-level exception for a non-luxury tax paying team, whichever is less.
I Think this is a good idea. any thoughts on this?

I actually don't hate this. Could make things interesting. The trade exception part might get slightly complicated however. But I guess we could do it so its only an exception for signing players, as Troy proposed.

This would encourage teams to compete which is good in theory.
Could see it being abused if a team signs a player using this and then just trades the player for picks or other value.
Maybe this exception contract can only be 1 season in length, and is untradable?

1 season but it can be traded i guess. We can't really control who gets injured every year and with this,teams will be still competing instead of them tanking in the season.

I'm not against this, some teams rosters get quite empty with all the injuries that occur.
I'm conscious of trying to keep it easy to administrate though. Even though it's a very simple rule the implications get quite manually laborious if you're allowing a team to sign a player even if they're over the 15 player limit, or marking that player as untradeable and for a fixed length of time that will have to be remembered manually.

Make the players sign 1 year contract and make them tradable. You can only have this exception if your player has a season ending injury DURING the offseason. Put the player on red font if they havre a season ending injury. I guess there can be not more than 10 players per year who gets injured and out for the season
