I have a Rule 5 player who is being offered back to me for 25k - does this mean I pay 25K in ADDITION to his salary, or does the team offering him back still pay his salary if I take him?

You pay both $25K and his salary.

The team that selected the player already paid you 50k, so you are just returning half of their money

So another team can bump his salary up to 327k and then make you pay that if you want him back?

Yes; or alternatively you can protect the guy you want to keep.  Or not accept him back if you don't want to pay him.

He has to be assigned to his BL roster for the salary to increase.   It wasn't always that way.

who's BL roster?  I've got Ivan Gonzales and his salary increased to 327k after I tried offering him back, he got rejected by his former team and I assigned him to AAA immediately.  He's never been assigned to a BL team.

Jeez.  You drafted the guy.  He was assigned the salary of 327k.   Had you offered him back and he was accepted, the salary would have reverted back to 55k(or whatever it was when you drafted him) because YOU never assigned him to your BL roster.   It prevents owners from drafting players just to jerk around other owners.

Ahhh, ok.  I was genuinely confused on the subject - mostly because I've never paid attention to rule 5 salaries.
