Madden 13 Connected Careers Mode Contract Question

[Cutler2Marshall2012]

When players want to negotiate contracts in the middle of the season can you hold it off until the end of the year? Forte out for the year and he wants a new contract in week 2. I dont wanna lose him but I wanna see what my options are at the end of the year. Thanks in advance.

You can click dismiss and while it will show up weekly, you can still choose to re-sign him in the offseason at the appropriate stage. Just remember players can now decline and opt for free agency if they don't like your offer.

Whatever you do, don't end the negotiations or you will not be able to re-sign him without having to win him in FA.

The GM in me says that now is the time to offer him though, maybe you'll get Forte cheaper than you would normally since he is hurt.

Yea but what I dont get is the Bears just re-signed him in the offseason and he is asking for a new contract in week 2? Same with Ray Rice.

Again, EA doesn't put the proper player contracts in the game? I would expected all those new contracts would have been in the Week 1 Roster Update but your telling me those aren't in the Week 2 update?

Yea. EA always screws up the little things.

Rodgers desires 22 mil / year, i don't want to give him that kind of money. Can someone please give me a solution how to resign him without losing him.
I was thinking if I shall delegate the contract negotiations, is this a good strategy to keep high value player off the FA market?
Thanks

Youre going to have to pay him. Unless his interest in staying with the team is HIGH than it will take the $22 million per season to get him signed. If it is LOW it will take more than the $22 million per.

That is actually probably spot on for what he will command next year when his contract is expiring.

I re-signed Luck after his rookie contract expired 6/120 and thought it was a steal.
