under New Owner Concession Rules, there is a grey area because in Option 1, it does say in bold "on the team at the time of arrival" and it does not say the same thing for Option 2. The new owner concession is intended to help cover the bad decisions of a previous owner, and should be used on a player who is part of the team at the time of the new owner's arrival.
New Owner Concession:
As with any long-term league, there will be teams that become abandoned. In an effort to add new owners willing to take over teams that may have been mismanaged or neglected, the league may grant new owners one of the following concessions to jump-start his new team:
1. Rework one contract on the team at the time of arrival in terms of salary amount. For instance, if the previous owner overbid on a player the new owner may rework the salary to lower to a reasonable salary. The new manager can propose a new salary to the League Manager. The contract will be lowered to a 1/2/3-year contract.
**Note: The new owner concession is for a player whose salary is too high for his performance. It is not for an owner to reduce the cost of a player of their choosing.
OR
2. Drop one player (to be included: "on the team at the time of arrival") without a cap penalty.
*Must be announced within 7 days of joining the league

Additionally, the 2nd option should say "Drop one player on the team at the time of arrival without a cap penalty (to be included: "for any years in the length of the contract").
