When a team is picked up by a new owner, I do an initial clearing of the dead cap. A second clear after the initial cuts in the first two sims. This is done to offset the damage done to rosters by the computer manager. One example of computer manager roster damage are 6 yr contacts at full salary/bonus given to average or worse players that are at or near the end of their careers. Also, to offset the loss of valuable starters, former 1st and 2nd round picks, whose contracts were not renewed by the comp mgr.
