CCM Trading for player with one year left

[jrealz007]

Apparently, I did not know this before making this trade, but I had traded for Aaron Hernandez in my CCM, and he had one year left. I thought I would have the chance to resign him in the offseason, but his name never showed up, and I lost him to free agency. I've read there is a little work around this problem by simply cutting the player, then resigning him, and therefore letting me have the option of resigning him during the offseason or franchise tag him. If that is the case, can I cut the player, and resign him the same week or does the week have to be advanced before I can resign him?

Yes, you can cut and resign them in the same week.

This is incorrect. I traded for Vontae Davis in year 2 of my new Falcons CCM and it won't let me resign him as he has one year left on his deal. I did cut him and resigned him and in that week and the week after he still does not show up in "resign players".

Unless you meant to cut and resign the guy towards the end of the season?

Did the player already fail a contract renegotiation with his current team?

I ran into this issue after trading for Aaron Hernandez in my CCM; the Patriots' owner failed to re-sign him, and I made a trade offer. I was never given the option to attempt to re-sign Hernandez and had to fend off bidders in free agency for him (to the tune of a $98 Million contract, lol).

If the player hadn't yet failed to renegotiate his contract, there may be a chance that one can re-sign him. You all may know better than me to this end, however; I'm simply relaying my personal experience on the topic.

This is one of the faults of madden 13. I had the same thing with Sean Smith and the comissh in our league seen that it was a problem and people were giving huge deals/ players to get these deals to work then in the offseason another team would step in take the player away. Our comissh actually made a rule that you can post what player you traded for in there last year and they are "untouchable" during free agent signing period, no other teams can bid on them. Its not perfect because some players will not want to sign on that team due to schemes, and also people can offer some low salaries but ea should have made it where you can negotiate the contract when you trade for a player so its the only fair way in a sense. Hope that was clear

That is a great question that I do not know the answer to. I traded for Davis in week 1 before the games were played so I do not know if the Colts tried to resign him or not.

yes if u cut him and resign him you will be able to resign him in the offseason. it wont let you do it during the year tho.

I just cut a LT I traded for with one year left on his contract in week 10. I than immediately went into the Free Agent section and signed him again. I will now be able to re-sign him after the season is over, right before FA starts. This is true of all Free Agents you sign to one year deals once the preseason starts for a given season.
