With the amount of contract in last FA that were super tapered off so players were making way too much $$ in a few years (i.e. players getting offered $5 mil/$10 mil/ $20 mil/$40 mil type of deals) I want to change up how contracts will be offered.
There are 2 options I am thinking of, but are open to hearing other ways if you have them!!
Option 1: only can offer flat contracts
~ will only allow contracts with the same amount of $$ per year (i.e. 4 yr 20 mil will be $5mil per year)
~ make bidding easier/simpler
Option 2: can still increase year-by-year $$ by 2x/0.5x BUT the amount of ANY TWO YEARS in the contract can't have a difference of $5 mil
~ i.e. you can offer a contract like 4 yr 11 mil (1/2/4/4), but a deal like this will be INVALID: 4 yr 15 mil (1/2/4/8) <--- since the difference of $8 mil and $1 mil is >$5 mil
~ larger contracts offered will look like this 4 yr $95 mil (20/25/25/25)
~ this option will limit large amounts of $$ being pushed back in deals to stop teams from heavy backloading of contracts
I'm hoping this will help limit egregious contracts. Any feedback is welcome BELOW
