I took over a team, and on my Payroll Analaysis there is $4 million in salary for players at the level "--".  I am 99 percent sure this is a cut players salary: just curious if there's a way to find out who it is.   (It won't change anything unless he's an FA that I can at least sign to get something for... but more so the principal of knowing who it is.)

On the Franchise Payroll Analysis page, instead of looking at the "All" level, look at the "ML" level.  You'll see the "--" guys mixed in with the "ML" guys.
