Re-Signings

[ajtickle]

What stategy do you use for re-signing your players in CFM? In M13 it used to be that I offered the player whatever the default offer was (except in special circumstances) but this year the default offer seems to be unrealistically low, so it gets rejected straight away. E.g. Ryan Wendell wants 22 mill over 5 years for me, the default offer is saying 3 mill over 3 years, so there is a considerable difference.

Also, do player re-signings appear in the 'Actions' tab this year? I'm in Week 2 and none have appeared yet so I presume you have to go to the re-signings page to do them all?

They start appearing in around Week 8 to resign guys. i also noticed Default offer low. I try to keep it around 1 or 2 mil lower then what guy wants. Some accept some i have to keep trying

as an owner how would your strategy be with bonuses. For MJD I gave him $2 mil for signing bonus then the rest was salary.

Bonuses can be good or bad. If you think the player will be kept for whole contract then more Bonus nice cause doesnt hit cap as hard. But if you need to release guy Bonus hurts cause it counts as penalty.
