FA/RESIGNING RULES

Spoiler

D. Free Agency

1. To keep the offseason strategic, every team must let at least one player 74 OVR or higher AND under 30 go into FA. You are allowed to resign this player, but you cannot resign him outright, you must allow him to test the Free Agent market first. What this means is that during the in-season and off-season resigning phase, each team will be permitted to re-sign any player except 1 who is 74 or higher overall.Kickers and Punters are excluded.

2. Qb floor for every QB in Free Agency. Minimum bidding must start at:

Tier 1 QBs: 80 OVR and above - $10 Million minimum
Tier 2 QBs: 70-79 OVR - $4 Million minimum
Tier 3 QBs: 70 OVR and Below - $2 Million minimum

The #1 QB on your roster MUST get a minimum of $10 Million regardless of his OVR(ex. If your QB retires, you MUST pay 78 QB who is your highest rated/scheduled starter at least $10 Million minimum)
Quarterbacks can be offered as many years as they request.*See Rule E-1.*

3. Kickers & Punters are exempt from the rule.

4. Any player requesting a 1-year deal can be offered 1-2 years.

E. Player Contracts

1. All QB contracts must be approved by a commissioner before being finalized. You MUST give the them the amount of years that they are asking for during negotiations.

2. Signing Contracts - All players resigned, or signed in offseason free agency, must receive 20% of their contract by way of a signing bonus if:

a. The contract is three seasons or longer in length
b. The contract is worth $2 million or more per season

VISUAL DEPICTION OF ACCEPTABLE CONTRACT

Spoiler

3. Signed or resigned players must not receive contracts longer than four seasons unless that is what the player is asking for. If a team has a player requesting a contract longer than four seasons, they must contact a commissioner with a screenshot of the request to receive permission to sign the player to a longer contract.

Contracts that don't meet Rule 2 and 3 will be released into free agency and the offending team will have to eat any penalties associated with the cut and will not be allowed to sign that player until after the next offseason free agency period.

CHECK THE PLAYER REQUIREMENTS, MAKE SURE YOUR TEAM MEETS THEM AT EVERY POSITION
