I thought there might be a cut off date like Week 8 or something where signed players could be then traded (kinda like what happens in NBA around December). Would allow people to make changes if things weren't working out or injuries happened or a player became available like Stan said. And you wouldn't be able to circumvent the cap by going over to sign them purely to trade them away as it would be mid season.

But disqualifying them the full season is fine too. The number of in season trades we see istypically pretty small anyway. The vast majority of the trades happen during the offseason. So it's not actually as restrictive as it sounds as teams probably weren't likely to make trades during the season anyway
